Google is selling a tiny camera for $249 that apparently only takes perfect pictures

Have a spare $249 and a desire to never think about when you should be snapping a photo? Then Google has something special for you.

Google Clips quietly went on sale via Google's website this week. The device, announced at Google's Pixel 2 event in October, is a small camera — less than 2-by-2 inches — that users can easily hold or clip anywhere.

But it's not just a convenient camera like Snapchat's Spectacles or, you know, the smartphone in your hand. Google Clips takes photos at particular moments based on artificial intelligence and a machine learning algorithm.
