Rabbit R1, a once highly regarded AI device, has seen shocking usage data recently. According to Rabbit's founder Jesse Lyu, out of 100,000 purchasers, only 5,000 are using the device daily.

A song titled 'Verknallt in einen Talahon', themed around immigration and created using artificial intelligence technology, unexpectedly made it into the top 50 of the German music charts.

The song features a narrative of 'good girls falling for bad boys.'
