They can’t sell the $699 AI party trick that requires a $24 subscription so they slashed the price to $499. Unfortunately it’s still $500 too expensive for what’s worth.

It’ll probably be a brick in a few months, when the company goes bankrupt and the servers it relies on get shut down. So even getting it for free would be too expensive.
