    I was bummed to hear that one of the new “features” of the repebble is AI integration. Hopefully being open source you can easily disable it forever.

      I dont disbelieve this - but where did you see that announcement? I wish to know more, and potentially cancel my preorder depending on what I see. I went hunting in their usual channels for updates but not seeing anything related to this.

          Ahh, that would explain why I’ve not seen it. Hate me some video updates, love me simple text.

          Cheers mate for providing the source!

            Totally agreed. He has a blog detailing the progress, but it has not mentioned it yet. And then there is the github, but I am shocked that major tech media sidestepped the potential inclusion of AI.

              He mentioned in the video that its the possibility of integration, and its just an app you can choose to install or not - the app I’m fine with. Baking it into the OS of the watch is an instant cancelation of order from me. Its a bloody watch with a few extra features, I dont want it to talk, Or think, or do anything but tell time and show me notifications from my phone so I know if I can’t ignore it.
