Humane AI Pin Review Roundup
The embargo has lifted for reviews of Humane's AI Pin and the general consensus appears to be that this device isn't ready to usher us into the all-but-inevitable AI future. Starting at $699 with a pricy $24-a-month subscription, the wearable device is designed to incorporate artificial intelligence into everyday scenarios, with the ability to make calls, translate languages, recommend nearby restaurants, and capture photos and videos. "The best description so far is that it's a combination of a wearable Siri button with a camera and built-in projector that beams onto your palm," writes Cherlynn Low via Engadget. While full of potential, the AI Pin creates more problems than it solves and many of the features you'd intuitively expect from it aren't supported at launch.
Here's a roundup of some of the first reviews:
Engadget: The Humane AI Pin is the solution to none of technology's problems
The Verge: Humane AI Pin review: not even close
Wired: Humane Ai Pin Review: Too Clunky, Too Limited
The Washington Post: I've been living with a $699 AI Pin on my chest. You probably shouldn't.
