> the Flipper Zero community seems less than enthralled by the whole thing. A post about the project on Reddit got a pretty tepid response from r/FlipperZero subscribers. The original post got next to no engagement, and a second thread received several responses from people saying they have no interest in the project.
> “No thanks!” one wrote, while another critiqued the project as seeming “AI-generated.” A user claiming to have worked on the project offered to answer any questions about it, and was downvoted and pelted with some mean-spirited replies.
Slow news day at Gizmodo? This appears to be a report on a project done by someone not directly related to Flipper Zero in any way, that made less of an impact than this person thought it would.
I know it's rather rude to make fun of someone for trying to make/write something... but I truly cannot think of a funnier and more worthless premise for an article. Gizmodo could pivot to the Onion of technology.
s/AI fanatics/Bots/, more likely. The repository also has 700 stars at the time of writing, but barely any real activity (only 1 issue in total and 3 outsider pull requests, all of which seem vibe-coded as well).

Here's the "second reddit thread" featuring "the pelting" (comment is at the end, with a score of -7 as of right now, and seemingly not changing) https://old.reddit.com/r/flipperzero/comments/1rzbjit/pliny_...
A running joke on /r/StardewValley is that any popular post will be a buzzfeed or other slopsite article the next day.
Cool hack adding AI to Flipper Zero is fun, but the real value depends on whether it’s actually useful in the field or just a flashy demo.
It's a vibe-coded slop third party plugin for a niche gadget. I fail to see how this is frontpage-worthy.
AI fanatics upvoting everything with AI in it.
