From the post:

>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.

'I'm hard-pressed to name a single thing it's genuinely good at'

Getting people to pay a lot of money for snake oil. And then generating endless monthly revenue. Just put the acronym 'AI' and people will buy it.

What do you expect for only $700?

It's ugly too.
