It's officially been a thousand days since ChatGPT was released to the world and launched this whole "people obsessed with generative AI" movement. Since then, a slew of brands have integrated AI into their current products, and even more hardware has entered the marketplace. Generally, I have a sense that people are still afraid that AI will completely make them useless. But, that's such a bleak way of looking at the future. 

AI is supposed to make humanity better off, not worse. Which leads me to spill the tea on the latest AI hardware that should be on your Christmas wish list. If you want to know where to start, I'd highly recommend buying hardware instead of just using ChatGPT or Claude. It's a great way to feel the technology, while still keeping your critical thinking skills intact. The first product on the list is FRIEND AI, a little wearable necklace that is supposed to help with the loneliness epidemic, or lack thereof. It's first on the list because earlier this year, the brand launched this huge advertising campaign in New York City. It was the talk of the internet for weeks; even the ads were remixed (ahem, vandalized) because of the discourse about it being super invasive to society. Whether people love AI or hate it, it's becoming a way of life sooner than we can think, literally.  I digress; here are a few products to add to your wishlist.
