Even the most advanced chatbots hallucinate from time to time. I'm guessing it's the era of braindead individuals believing everything these units feed them.
It's a microphone, not a chatbot. It's for controlling smart home stuff, turning on lights, checking the weather, playing music, adjusting the air conditioning, etc. Without having to have spyware from some shitty tech company in your house.
This thing itself doesn't have the brains though, you have to plug it into something else that does the home assistant stuff.
You could use an LLM to give it a more natural interface but you could run one locally so it's not going to openai etc.
