Humane AI Complained About the Bad Reviews. They Deserved Them.
Out now in The New York Sun: on Humane's AI pin, the impact of bad reviews, and what kills bad companies
“Humane’s AI pin is either a less convenient, less capable replacement to your phone, or an extremely expensive accessory that you won’t use. For those unaware, it’s a small square device that clips to your lapel or shirt and by tapping it, you can ask it questions, send messages, or ask it to take photos and videos of the world around you. Using a variety of connected AI models, it then tells you the answer aloud, or projects it onto your hand with a small, onboard laser projector; and the idea is that by wearing the pin, you can be more present in the moment.
It’s a beautiful, very cool little piece of tech, and as someone eager to reduce their screen time, it’s right up my alley. This could be the future of mobile computing. But this isn’t there yet.”
