The scam is they are selling it as anything other than "phone with fewer features"

Are Android tablets a scam too?

No, because the title is honest. An Android tablet means exactly that. An "AI Assistant" does not. That implies it's something much more than it is.

That’s not a scam, either. They’re not being dishonest about what the hardware really is. They’re probably at least being unrealistically optimistic about the future software, though.

Yes they are. It's not an AI assistant. It's a smartphone with fewer features and slightly different form factor.
