This is just so sad, the way it hijacks our natural response to human interaction and being needed, making us imagine that we’re fulfilled when we’re just talking to a gimmick.

I am so disappointed. From the headline:
Gatebox is a $2700 holographic cosplay assistant

Gatebox is a $2700 holographic cosplaying assistant
The headline makes it sound like it would help people cosplay, but that simply is not the case.

Gatebox is a $2700 cosplaying holographic assistant
