      Oh shit. I stopped reading at the end of the quote and didn’t even notice. Fuck. I was genuinely relieved.

      I feel like this is a really good example of how not to do April Fool’s jokes. It touches on a subject that people care strongly about, it plays it completely straight without any hints all the way through, and they filled it with completely believable subject matter. I actually find it rather mean-spirited to do that.

        I agree with you in this case. Might have been better had the author leaned further into the controversy by putting out an article about how Garmin is doubling down and putting AI directly on their watches.
