Reviews Pan AI Assistant Brooch as Buggy, Unusable Dumpster Fire
-
The Humane AI Pin, a $699 smart brooch, was supposed to replace smartphones but initial reviews are terrible. Critics call it a "dumpster fire."
-
The Pin was pitched as an AI assistant you could wear to avoid being distracted by your phone, but it has failed to deliver on that promise.
-
Reviewers criticize the Pin for getting hot, being difficult to control with gestures, and having missing or broken features.
-
The botched launch seems to stem from the company's failure to get enough outside perspective and overconfidence in its own ideas.
-
After this high-profile failure, future AI gadgets will have an even harder time convincing wary consumers they're not just another Humane AI Pin.
