Critics call Meta's AI Tamagotchi-style device a cash grab
Original: Meta’s attempt at an AI Tamagotchi is nothing but a cheap hardware cashgrab
Meta has released a small AI companion device compared to a Tamagotchi, and coverage is blunt about it. Commentators describe the gadget as a cheap attempt to cash in on AI hardware hype rather than a genuinely useful product, arguing it adds little beyond novelty and relies on novelty-driven purchases.
Why now: Criticism of Meta's new AI gadget is circulating, fuelling debate over whether AI companion hardware offers real value.
