That stupid Friend AI thing was a good start but I think we can get more cursed than that

I think the key aspects of a good cursed amulet are

- Ominous as shit. Just absolutely rancid vibes. Bad to be in the presence of

you could design the strap so that, once you put it on, it gets shorter

making it harder to get it off

- Makes your life worse constantly

- You still don't want to get rid of it

Can we make this amulet detect when you're stressed out and respond to that by emoting ultrasonic waves designed to subconsciously cause anxiety?

Can we tune the AI to make it warn you that everyone you love is plotting your downfall?

Strap shortening isn't a bad step

I hate it when the strap gets shorter so it's harder to get off

infrasound

which is sound waves on a level that you can't physically hear but which literally produce anxiety in humans

so opposite of ultrasonic

anyway

give it like one of those flashlight batteries you can charge by shaking them, I don't know how that works, the point is you generate electricity passively by going about your day wearing it

and use that electricity to mine bitcoin

so to the user's mind, they're throwing money away if they take it off

but it's an inconceivably worthlessly small amount of money to actually make

probably not a strong enough incentive. let's make it gambling

every hour there's a slim chance that at an unspecified minute, there's a popup you can click to get a moderate amount of free money

no noise or flashing lights. you have to pay attention to it all the time

it scans your surroundings for amazon products and automatically buys more of them without asking you

its a watch but every time you wanna check the time you gotta sit through a 15 second ad

if you want to skip the ads you gotta pay for the watch subscription

Can we tune the AI to make it warn you that everyone you love is plotting your downfall? idk about that but we can make it detect myriad medical symptoms that it will tell you mean you have cancer and it's terminal and you're always gonna die in six months

chest amulet made of "deionized" radium meant to block "harmful EMF and 5G waves" from the wearers body

Can I make a separate request?

everyone keeps giving me curse amulets that are just smartphones can we get something a little more subtle of an allegor-- ooh that's real good Izzy

if you feel the warmth and tingling from the Amulet that's how you know it's working!

this could have been a real product in the 50s if you just change the ad copy up a bit

also in the 00s. hell world

what if one of those quack magnetic bracelets slowly gave you radiation poisoning. that's what I'm imagining

it's just an hp printer. absolutely rancid vibes, bugs you every time you try to use it, prints out randomly 'your loved ones all hate you and want you dead'

yet you spent $200 on this thing and don't want to get rid of it on the one chance you'll actually need to print something

An amulet with an RFID chips that tracks things you do and broadcasts updates to all of your social media
