Humane AI Pin Gets Overwhelmingly Negative Reviews for Unreliability and Unfulfilled Hype
-
The Humane AI Pin is getting overwhelmingly negative reviews for being slow, unreliable, and not living up to its hype and high price tag. Reviews call it "the worst product I've ever reviewed" and "not even close" to being a worthwhile product.
-
The hardware design gets some praise, but the device suffers from issues like inconsistent battery life, overheating, incorrect responses to questions, and a frustrating projection interface.
-
Reviewers conclude smartphones are still far superior and AI assistants still have a long way to go. The AI Pin offers glimpses of potential but is too flawed for everyday use.
-
Humane defends the product and blames "hot takes," saying the AI Pin can be frustrating but no more than other devices. They have plans to improve it with software updates.
-
For now the consensus is the AI Pin tried to do too much too soon in a form factor that can't yet handle it. Time will tell if software updates make it more usable.
