It's either AI content or people talking about how it's not AI content but the one thing that's for certain - the comments will end up being about AI.

It's clearly AI.

I’m struggling to see the value here. At $50, this seems hard to justify given the availability of cheaper, well-supported options like MuziWorks Duo, Ebyte, and other newer LR1121/LR2021-based designs. Those chips offer both 2.4 GHz and sub-GHz support in a single modern package, often at roughly half the price, which makes the SX1281 feel fairly outdated.
