Will Rabbit R1 appraise AI-powered gadgets?

What is the Rabbit R1?

Rabbit R1 is an AI-powered handheld device that can operate any smartphone’s apps and their interface, primarily known as UI. Half the size of an average smartphone, the Rabbit R1 was introduced to the world at CES 2024. Surpassing the initial anticipated demand, 10,000 units of the Rabbit R1 were sold out, and the next batch, which is about to be released in March 2024, is sold out, too. The Rabbit R1 sports an intuitive modernised walkie-talkie design with a 2.88-inch OLED panel up front running Rabbit OS. There’s a revolving camera, a push-to-talk button, and speakers on the outside. Powered by a 2.3Ghz MediaTek processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB Storage, WiFi and Bluetooth running the AI coupled with cloud processing for Rabbit AI on their servers, the Rabbit R1 runs on LAM (Large Action Model), an AI capable of understanding and interacting with app interfaces on your smartphone, tablet or other computing internet devices.

Rabbit R1 is the brainchild of Rabbit CEO Jesse Lyu, who believes that smartphones were supposed to save time but ended up consuming more of our time than ever. Rabbit R1’s LAM is adaptable and learns from new interactions, app updates and more. The best part is that it will never record a single data from the user. All app authentication and logins are authorised inside the main apps, while Rabbit R1 only navigates through the interface as per user commands.

What could it be used for?

Theoretically, an adaptive AI pocket gadget has limitless possibilities with its hardware and modal AI software. Rabbit claims that the R1 responds in milliseconds and also understands execution as detailed as the voice command tells it to do. It integrates the entire smartphone and app interface into a simple voice-enabled command-based interface. It is not simply a smartphone or as basic as any voice-based AI like Google Assistant, Alexa or Siri. Imagine pressing a button with no voice commands to start but a conscious push-to-talk button and asking the Rabbit R1 to plan an itinerary for your next trip based on location, budget and schedule, and getting a detailed plan using your smartphone. Singles could simply ask the R1 to swipe on potential matches in their area, and the R1 would be doing so on all installed dating apps in less than a second.

The Rabbit R1 itches our brains with the adaptive LAM AI. No wonder it has garnered such interest in a world where most people cannot name the apps on their phones; this AI pocket gadget can use them all for your perusal. Made minimalist in collaboration with teenage engineering, this gadget looks fantastic, and the website is worth a knowledge fair to think out of the box with your smartphone usage. Interactive AI is becoming cool.

Ex: Tell us about a change you’ve seen in the digital blogging space since you started out your journey? How has this space evolved?

Prajakta: I think the sheer magnanimity of the platform speaks for itself. When I started 5 years ago, we did not see this coming. Nobody knew the digital space would boom like this in every corner of our country. That is the biggest change I have seen. Now there are more consumers and even more creators coming on to the platform everyday.  

Ex: Can you give us an insight into social media platforms that only an Influencer can know?

Prajakta: Know what is the best time to post that’ll give you the most engagement. Consistency is key and content is king at the end of the day. Also, engaging with your audience makes all the difference. 

Ex: A technology you wished you’d invented?

Prajakta: An app that deletes your account if you baselessly spew hate at people on the internet.

Ex: What’s been your favorite encounter with a fan so far? (DMs included!)

Prajakta: Running into viewers at malls and airports or reading the amazing letters they write to me is by far the best thing about my job. But I remember, a viewer once came up to me at an event to talk about how she gave up on waxing her legs and accepted her body as is after listening to my song ‘SHAMELESS’. That was such an accomplishment!

Ex: What does success mean to you?

Prajakta: Seeing the people that matter to me happy. 

Ex: Do you think Influencer Marketing is a fad? Where do you see this space in years to come?

Prajakta: Influencer marketing is definitely not a fad and is here to stay. Over the years brands have seen the connect influencers have with their audience. The brands are keen on tapping this bond and maximising visibility for their brand. So it is definitely here to stay wherein many brands are actively focussing on influencer marketing over mainstream conventional marketing techniques.

Microsoft is Replacing Employees with AI

Until yesterday (not literally but almost) AI was a fancy word that was too far fetched to be true so soon. I mean robots and the likes were only a thing in the movies, right? Replacing humans? You must be kidding me!

No, we aren’t kidding you because not only has Artificial Intelligence – AI started rooting itself in our minds but has also begun to create waves in the real work world. Now, these waves are pleasant for some while a Tsunami for many others. 

For instance and for news, Microsoft has taken over the job of taking everyone’s job. We mean that they’ve replaced dozens of journalists with artificial intelligence. This means that journalists have been fired. We are talking about the employees who maintained the homepages on Microsoft’s MSN website and its Edge browser. They have been told (indirectly, of course) that robots will most definitely do a better job than them. Is there really a subtle way to say this? We aren’t sure. 

Around 27 employees at PA Media were told that they have only a month’s time to say goodbye after Microsoft decided to make AI the star employee of the month, year, decade and so on.. and to stop employing real people to select, edit and curate news articles on all the homepages.

Is this notice too short? Of course. Besides the fact that AI has been in the news since quite some time now and there has been a lot of talk around how it will replace humans in so many ways, employees didn’t expect it to happen this fast. They also didn’t expect Microsoft to give such a short notice. They’re not surprised as they knew this would come sooner or later but they’re startled because it’s too sudden. 

Humans over Artificial Intelligence AI

In defense of humans over Artificial Intelligence, one employee deemed the decision extremely risky, as the AI might not be able to deliver results as per the “very strict editorial guidelines” which can only be adhered to by humans at all possible times. Use of AI could lead to violent or inappropriate content being presented on opening the browser and there could be an underage person sitting on the other end of the screen. 

Well, only time will tell who beats whom but we know one thing for sure. The fight is real. With so much happening across the world where we have a fight against racism and a pandemic, here we are in a fight against tech too! Human beings or AI? Who do you think will be the real winner here?
