Yes, consumer electronics are constantly increasing in price alongside huge inflation and everybody getting laid off, but have you considered the value in having a personal assistant AI agent that can lie about the time for your appointment and autonomously delete your entire calendar? Some compromises have to be made in the AI-driven future.

Well hey, at least these systems also consume massive amounts of electricity either raising your electric bill or your gas bill depending on how they decide to power the data center. Nothing like a 30% increase in your power bill because your local county commissioners got a sweet $300k campaign donation from a foreign billionaire.

And of course if they burn natural gas for their power you get polluted air from your neighbors.
