AI “Friend”??, more like a survailance device you wear.
friend.com I’m sorry but I don’t think anyone is idiot enough to wear a device that is always listening to you and talking to you pretending to be your friend. This is a disaster waiting to happen. If social media was killing mental health, imagine what this will do.

It's also just generally a bad idea and everyone involved in making it should be barred from working in technology.
If it's not your hardware, it's not your friend.
I would rather run my own model on my own hardware than use someone else's cloud
