The Humane AI pin is... bad. Almost no one should buy it. Yet.MKBHD Merch: http://shop.MKBHD.comTech I'm using right now: https://www.amazon.com/shop/MKBHDIn...

Oooff … I don’t think it’s like MKBHD to come down so hard on a product. But this thing seemed weird (and probably dumb) when it was launched and so I guess this lines up.

Not that a wearable assistant doesn’t make some sense, but some former Apple higher ups who think they’re good enough to disrupt the smartphone market by … checks notes … relying entirely on other companys’ new/untested/problematic/maybe-just-shit AI services and pretending that all of the other “smart” devices we have just don’t exist in some sort of volley in the ongoing platform wars … really does kinda epitomise all of shittiness of the current tech world.

    First 20 mins according to ChatGPT:

    In the YouTube video titled “The Worst Product I’ve Ever Reviewed… For Now,” the reviewer discusses his experience with the Humane AI Pin, a new wearable computer with an AI inside designed to help users throughout their day. Despite its impressive hardware and innovative features, such as a camera, microphone, touchpad, projector with gesture control, and strong build quality, the reviewer expresses disappointment with the user experience and lack of integration with smartphones. He finds the device too expensive, with a cost of $700 plus a $24 monthly subscription, and notes that it often provides incorrect information, has poor voice recognition, and lacks essential features and apps. The reviewer also mentions that the device frequently overheats and is too heavy to be comfortably worn for extended periods. Overall, while the Humane AI Pin shows promise, its current limitations and high cost make it a significant disadvantage compared to modern smartphones.

      An AI summarizing the AI generated subtitles for a video that reviews an AI gadget, there’s still room for the video to be AI generated.
