In a battle for sheer brain-numbing frustration, the hotly anticipated Rabbit R1 AI assistant has gone head-to-head with that simplest of objects - the brick wall. And in a shocking twist, the brick wall has emerged as the victor, albeit by the slimmest of margins.
"We were floored," said exasperated tech reviewer Anita Smasher. "I've punched plenty of walls in my time when devices push me over the edge. But nothing, and I mean nothing, made me want to headbutt concrete quite like the Rabbit R1."
The Rabbit R1, marketed as a revolutionary AI helper for your home, turned out to be more demonic tormentor than digital assistant. Users reported smashing through no less than 17 stages of tech support rage trying to connect the device.
First it couldn't understand my voice commands despite speaking clearly," recalled survivor Michael Criers. "Then it randomly started listing purchase options for rabbit food and tiny top hats. I just lost it at that point.
Incredibly, the brick wall only won the head-bashing anguish contest by a razor thin margin over the Rabbit R1. Smasher's final scorecard had the wall at 94 Migraines out of 100, beating the R1's 93 Migraines by a single agonizing point.
"The good news is we can just not buy the Rabbit," noted Smasher. "Brick walls on the other hand are everywhere, so those headaches are unavoidable."
When reached for comment, a Rabbit R1 unit simply responded by a excreting a pile of pellets before shutting down completely.
