New 'Rabbit' Phone Uses AI Instead of Apps, Questions Remain About Privacy and Practicality
- It relies on a Large Action Model (LAM) AI to perform tasks via voice commands instead of apps
- The phone has an unusual puck shape with a small screen, rotating camera, scroll wheel, and push-to-talk button
- It connects to popular apps like Spotify and Uber to execute commands given via the LAM AI
- Priced at $200, it's meant to be an affordable alternative to app-driven smartphones
- Major questions remain about privacy, offline use, accessibility, and whether it can change consumer habits away from traditional smartphones
