Highly anticipated wearable AI device, the AI Pin, has received scathing reviews despite promises of revolutionizing human-technology interaction. Designed by former Apple executives, the AI Pin boasts features like answering questions, taking photos, and sending messages. However, reviewers found the $700 gadget riddled with problems.
Marques Brownlee, a prominent tech reviewer, called the AI Pin 'The worst product' he's reviewed, praising the concept but panning the execution.
The pin lacks a screen, projecting information onto the user's hand, with reviewers noting poor visibility in bright conditions. It lacks basic functionalities like calendars, alarms, or the ability to sync with existing smartphones.
Battery life is another major concern, with users requiring multiple charges throughout the day. Some reviewers even reported the device becoming uncomfortably hot while worn.
Despite the criticism, Humane, the AI Pin's creator, remains optimistic. The company acknowledges software shortcomings and promises summer updates. The AI Pin's fate remains to be seen. Can Humane address the device's flaws and usher in a new era of wearable AI? Or will it join the ranks of overhyped gadgets that fall short of expectations? Only time will tell.
