    I get pet-cemetery vibes from these AI powered resurrections.

    As in ... "the AI brought it back to life, but it came back /wrong/".

      I mean, that Peri Fractic clown "owns Commodore" now and tried to sell people a phone that was rendered entirely using AI.

      Maybe Amiga people are ready to drink from that chalice too?

        Wait, what? I'm on the waitlist for that phone as I thought it was a great idea in general, regardless of the renders. Have I been had?

        I've never (ever) bought a phone because of what it looks like in marketing material.

          From what I've read, the phone did not (does not?) yet physically exist

          All his marketing has been via AI renders

            The phone is a real device produced by Jolla. After being called out on the AI generated ads, Commodore apologised and had the videos remade using real people.

              Thanks for that info.
