I'm pretty sure you can still open that fridge by hand. The design is the same as many existing Samsung fridges - there are no visible handles, but you open and close the doors with handles under the bottom or over the top of the doors.

Still not a winner for me, but not as ludicrously dumb as only being able to open the doors with your voice would be.

Thanks for the reference. I knew this product in the article sounded familiar:

“Literally a piece of e-waste in waiting, Lollipop Stars are suckers with an integrated battery and tiny speaker that, when placed in one's mouth, transmit sound through jaw vibrations, delivering what the brand calls ‘music you can taste.’”
