My mini “review” of Loona,
Loona is very cute, her behaviour when you do not interact with her is adorable.
My daughter likes her very much, when she gets up the first thing she does is turn on Loona. I do not like the ChatGPT implementation, ChatGPT is very limited, has no connection to the internet so the conversations feel a bit basic and tend to be repetitive.
To me the ChatGPT function now is a novelty not really useful, I use ChatGPT4o a lot so I know what Chatgpt4o is capable of.
I think I’ll turn of the setting that if Loona does not understand you she turns to ChatGPT mode. For my daughter this function is frustrating because when Loona does not understand her command, Loona turns to GPT mode and my daughter ends up asking Loona to do stuff in GPT mode, which then turns into a conversation from Loona’s side and frustration from my daughters side as she keeps giving commands, and Loona just replies in ChatGPT mode.
So if you are looking for a good interface to ChatGPT I would not get Loona, If you just want a cute little robot friend she is a good choice. I was petting Loona and her reaction to the petting almost fooled me, she felt alive.
