Like Siri.
Amazon Echo, the $200 speaker/"artificial intellegence" assistant.  :wtf:

for $50 it looks like a nice alarm clock or kitchen speaker/assistant. This seems like a case where the cost of the technology hasn't fallen enough to come in line with its usefull(less)ness

It's like Siri, but without a screen and not portable. It's the dumbest thing ever.

I hope we all get to mock people who buy them.

Yes, but you can say something to it like "Play Bruno Mars" and it will. :|
