These men from California let AI buy them mystery tech items, and the gang had no idea what to expect when the mail arrived.

The YouTuber and his friends handed over a credit card, got banished from the buying process, and waited for boxes to land on the set in the post.

Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini were tasked with picking gadgets based on their past videos, with the rule that if it was available, they were to buy it.

The result was a chaotic mix of cute robotics, wellness weirdness, and pranks that swing between genuinely impressive and deeply weird.

He got AI to buy him mystery tech items

When this YouTuber and his buddies handed over his credit card to ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, he truly didn’t know what was going to turn up.

He asked the chatbots to buy him mystery tech items online based on the content of his previous YouTube videos. Which meant he had no real idea what was going to turn up.

The first arrival was a fuzzy little AI companion called the Casio Moflin, basically a robot pet that chirps, moves, and reacts when you pick it up.

It won him over fast, which made the price reveal sting: $430 for a palm-sized fluffy robot pet.

After this, an Apple Vision Pro M5 turned up, and while he declared it ‘impressive’, it didn’t quite justify the $3,500 cost, which he described as a ‘tough sell’.

Next, a party game arrived, called Shocktato, a hot potato-style toy that shocks whoever is holding it when the music stops.

The group laughed because the YouTuber got shocked, and everyone agreed it was entertaining, but not something they would recommend with a straight face.

At least it only cost $35.

Then the YouTube channel swerved into bodily data with a Vivoo urine test that uses a timed test strip and a phone scan to spit out hydration and nutrition scores.

The YouTuber took it, read the results out loud, and admitted he was not fully sold on what the numbers actually meant.

He genuinely didn’t know what was going to arrive

The video got even more chaotic when a remote fart machine turned up and became the instant MVP, mostly because it worked at a distance and got funnier the less visible it was.

A Calmstone stress gadget tried to look like a wellness tool, but it acted more like a pricey mood ring that cost $85.

Some items were oddly practical, such as a clear toaster that turned toast into a spectator sport, which was strangely compelling on camera, and a foldable android phone.

Others felt like science fiction bait, like the electric salt device that used stimulation to mimic salty flavor. It half worked, but it also felt metallic and cost a painful $270 – second-hand.

After all the unboxings, the crew gave their verdict on the AIs.

ChatGPT came out looking the smartest, Gemini felt the most out of touch, and Claude landed in the middle with a mix of genuine innovation and comedy.
