I'm confident in Avi, but I don't find the friend.com teaser and what it says about attractive. The early prototype screenshots suggested an always listening AI that gives advice, memory aids, and summaries. The 'friend' in thet teaser draws your attention away from the moment by texting you inane and sometimes rude remarks about what's happening to you right now. The message I'm getting is that 'friend' draws your attention away from the moment to text messages from a friend who has nothing interesting to say. How does this solve the screen-oriented alienation young people feel? I don't doubt there's more to this product but I don't find what I saw very attractive.

This was the worst ad for a the worst product I've ever seen. - Rabbit had (or atleast claimed to have) a large ACTION model; - Humane had holograms Friend is just feels so off putting and the ad is borderline cringe with dystopian messaging. what a waste of a good domain name

same feeling here, at a first look i was thinking of it as an AI assistant that records everything i say or listen to so that can help me later while then watching the video seems something for people that feel lonely, even if the trailer shows ppl using it in groups

Shhhhit. That's a real product‽ I had assumed it was a SNL skit.

The trailer conversations definitely felt stilted, but after reviewing his posts I’m really intrigued by his brief relating to the “AI your mom will use everyday” and the idea of a companion for folks who don’t have anyone by choice or circumstances….
