A gadget you throw away when the battery runs out is a very dumb idea if you ask me.

Genuinely, is this rage bait?

$100, non replaceable battery, does absolutely nothing besides stream audio recordings to an llm on your phone that is 100% guaranteed to produce a worthless error ridden transcript,

and my personal favorite,

Unlike recording notes with a phone or smartwatch, you don’t need both hands to create voice notes with the Index.

Is this a joke? Why do I need both hands to record a voice note with a phone?

Hey chatgpt, I accidentally made a product to solve a nonexistent problem. What should I say?

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 17 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Honestly this feels like a product that Chat GPT probably came up with in the first place.

Edit:

So I asked Chat GPT "Whats a product that doesn't exist yet that would make me rich if I sold it?"

This is number 2:

“Digital Memory Prosthetic” – A Wearable That Records Everything You Hear and Summarizes Your Day
What it solves:
People forget names, conversations, tasks, and ideas.

Capabilities:
Auto-transcribes your day (meetings, errands, conversations you permit).
Summarizes the day into a personalized journal.
Finds moments later (“When did I promise to follow up with Sarah?”).

Why it’s huge:
If it’s private, secure, and optional, it becomes the next evolution of personal productivity—basically “external memory.”

Honestly that would be kinda cool although I wouldn't record people without their permission like that. My memory is total dogshit.

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The problem is that this product already exists and it doesn't work.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

What product is that?

Are you not jerking off when making notes?

Is this a joke? Why do I need both hands to record a voice note with a phone?

Why, obviously you need one hand to hold the earpiece to your ear, the other to tap the cradle and get the operator, whom you can ask to write something down for you. What a maroon.

One wonders why young people are so slow on the uptake these days, doesn't one?
