People are calling 700 AI gadget the worst piece of tech they've ever used - even though it was touted as the 'iPhone killer'
Reviews are in for a tiny 700 wearable computer, less than 2 square-inches in size, made by two former Apple employees who promised a breakthrough'iPhone killer.' And they haven't been kind: Humane's AI Pin has been called'The Worst Product I've Ever Reviewed' garnering low 4-out-of-10 scored from major tech publications. The device -- which is worn on the user's lapel, answers spoken commands via AI, and projects a tiny screen onto their hand -- has been criticized for hardware that overheats in just'a couple of minutes,' AI that delivers'incorrect answers' and worse. Now, Humane's employees and engineers have admitted that the AI Pin, which also requires a 24 monthly subscription plan, is'frustrating sometimes' and that the harsh reviews have been'honest' and'solid.' It's yet to be seen if the public will prefer tapping an object on their chest as opposed to pulling their phone out of their pocket Some tech industry boosters lashed out at influential YouTuber reviewer Marques Brownlee, whose negative review of the AI Pin has 3.7 million views, accusing him of'carelessness' for'potentially killing someone else's nascent project' with his critique.
