I'm not anthropomorphizing them, to be clear, my position has been and remains that we cannot rule out consciousness; not that they are conscious. Regardless, this is still missing my main point. Hypothetically, if you became convinced

1. Does this require internet connectivity? If Nori goes out of business, can we keep using these? 2. Is the app distributed as an APK outside of the Play Store? Does it have any hard requirements on GMS that would prevent users of degoogle
