I feel like the humane AI pin is a solution looking for a problem.

Tbh I think smartphones are already the platform that AI needs. No need for a separate mobile device, unless it's embedded in AR glasses or a neural chip.

Btw it's not just the french or german that failed. When switching to italian at 4:40 it just says "in this room there is a camera, a lamp, a table, a chair, a tv, and a can of sparkling water"

part future, all frustration

This is a classic example of how knowing how to do something is not the same as knowing what to do.

Love the Star Trek vibe with the outfit and communicator.

Thank you for the review, I am canceling my order right now

the funny part is on the bike scene when u asked what kind of bike that was....at the same time i pulled my cell out of my pocket and found that bike literally 2 seconds before you got a reply back....

I wish they had something like this but with a screen.

It seems like it needs to just be an Ai translator that can connect to your phone. Cameras are on phones, as is music, which is also on smart watches, and why do you need it to recognise things in the camera? Your phone can do that too. What the world needs really is a highly responsive ‘Universal Translator’ from Star Trek. And make it smaller, like half or quarter the size, which could be done if the camera and silly laser were removed. But mainly, who would waste $24 a month on this?

The best part of the humane pin was that slight of hand magic you did

One problem with these AI gadgets that doesn't get talked about enough is the response lag. I'm guessing the pin is using the cloud to do all the heavy lifting, and it's far too slow. For these little gadgets to work, there needs to be huge strides in local AI and on-device AI that only needs to cloud compute when a request is far outside their operational range.

Even the founders didn't look entirely convinced.

Futuristic frustration.

In Italian, it's describing the scene as well, not translating what you said.

Failed product

5:54 if you have bluetooth earbuds, you can connect them to your phone (instead of the pin), then tap them to talk to the AI Agent on your phone. You get 90% of these features and not spend an additional $700 and $300 a year subscription.... bonus it's your phone, not a separate phone number. They already made a bluetooth star trek badge that let you do all of this with your phone. Humane should have made this just work with your phone. It would cost way less and the battery would last way longer.

I can't wait for mine to arrive ! It will get better and better with time

Lightness, bounce and loft in that first little move 💜Great work on the video

It's so slow you can see it's broadcasting everything it does via 4g to the cloud and waiting for a response.

Excellent review as always!!! Thank you so much for doing it.

Could be cool for visually impaired people

Why didn’t they just make an AI focused smartwatch that works standalone from a smartphone? They could project onto the wrist with more stability if they still want to push that gimmick

Useless, phones are way more helpful, this is a device & company that will disappear within 18 months unless they just release an app. Over engineering.

Meta glasses are underrated

Thanks for your great review, Star Trek Stein. And for having chosen Italian as the translation language (the only one that worked...)

It would be useful if you hold out an item at a grocery store and ask it if you need this item and it’ll give you a response based on your list or if you had it before and liked it or your better half liked it. In addition it’ll save the image and reminds you later for whatever reasons.

its only a microphone conected wirelessly to the internet like our phones but its slow. add to that you have the device attached to your chest and it gets hot and needs frequent charging and replacement of them too and its very heavy. its a fab idea but its not there yet in anyway, i am being compleatly honest when i say if you gave me one for free i would not take it. i am so glad so many people are calling it out. if you gave someone an empty box of chocolates they would not be happy even if it was a gift.

Do i stand on it n check my weight?

At this point i really just wait for Scott's review of products

that Italian translation was completely wrong lol

I feel like the tech started as a palm screen interface, then when AI was the new buzz word they shifted. Now the camera/display tech is 2nd priority.

Cool just put it in all in Apple Watch 10 or a totally new band for the watches that has this sit on the inside of the wrist so you can palm the projection like the video shows.

The idea is good but has already failed. 😅😅😅😅

I'm italian, that pin when you changed the language simply described the room 😂. Didn't change the traducción language 😂😂😂

If it were not so expensive, I probably would’ve given it a try. I would like as little friction in my life as possible. taking the phone out of my pocket to do things to schedule events, add reminders and so on is rather impeding the flow.

review rabbit and rayneo x2 please

For the first time I see something that works with Italian language and not with others, amazing, that was hilarious. The overheating issue it must be fixed as soon as they can, if it gets hot with couple of questions it is not so useful. The answers are quite basic with not so much details, the idea in general is not bad at all, but for that price you can buy a good MP and do much more other things, including AI conversations. The mandatory subscription doesn't make it appealing as well.

My father is eighty years old. He is an elderly man and has a medical crutch. Is it possible for my father to use a modern smart phone? Are there any problems or drawbacks? Can you answer

It's a cool piece of tech that is clearly in the early beta or late alpha stage right now. I wonder if their investors pushed them to release it before it was ready?

I know I was bc and am still extremely critical of this device because it is the first time a product has come out that can be replaced by any os update to iOS or android or an app for each platform since the chumby .. But from your experience it seems like the is is in. iOS 1.0 state like it could benefit from piggy backing off of a native phone companion app until it’s kinks are worked out and also the puase between responses is similar to what I’ve seen with bard and gpt but copilot powered by gpt but on a device without a screen it seems a little more pronounced it could use some help with sound design or maybe even adding some canned response to fill in the background… there’s no audible representation of a empty field or loading screen/ animation so it seems really slow even though it’s about normal Maybe this needs a boost from on device intelligence… but given the fact that it’s over hearing it may need to have a more efficient chipset designed from the ground up for this type of thing I dont know. It’s very ten one and I don’t like the aesthetics enough to invest in it yet The same goes for the rabbit r1 it’s playful design is cool but the orange color is a big no I’d rather a white or space gray slab with orange accents

I feel like you could see Google just make their own version of this with Gemini built in. But I really think no-one will be talking about this device 6 months from now.

My father is eighty years old. He is an elderly man and has a medical crutch. Is it possible for my father to use a modern smart phone? Are there any problems or drawback Can you answer

I think this is a great vision. This product can be enhanced and a speed boost will help

Omg this is the first time I've seen someone using Pixel 8's temperature sensor for something meaningful haha

A self contained phone that doesn't give you basic tools that you regularly use on your phone as demonstrated in other reviews. They took the idea of not using a screen a bit too far: it doesn't do alarms, reminders, etc. Is it an accessory or is it ACTUALLY a device?

"I love magic and improve" said nobody ever

Great presentation as usual. I’m not sold. There are certain limited applications that I trust for, but I am not one of those people who think AI is waving in the future. I think AI is going to be more problematic and maybe even more dangerous than we imagine.☣️

Surprisingly, nobody’s asking how he got the teleportation to work.

I think it great and the future is bright

The consumer product isn't really their end game. If anything, this is to add to their portfolio for bigger companies to scoop them up for their patents and experience.

They missed the mark. I see what they went for but it’s not fluid enough. It needs: hand tracking technology. Look at the meta question and Apple Vision Pro. This device would benefit with that tech so that it tracks your hand and the laser projector can lock on to your hand and keep the projector display motion tracked real time on your hand. So that you seamlessly hold your hand up at any position and it is displayed nicely. Better cameras. of course to read and see things better. Add a clip to the device. Connect to a smart phone: we all know this device works better as a phone accessory. (Doesn’t mean a bad thing, but this is more of a Apple Watch type of technology.) What I like: that this is a great fast way to access AI. I see how this is very useful. The craftsmanship and how solid it looks is great. However the overheating and the lack of refined/reliable AI makes this tech ahead of its time.

some say AI pin is still processing the "beam me up scotty" reference.

I think it’s safe to say AR glasses are the next big thing, we’re just waiting for the hardware to slim down at this point. The AI pins, the Rabbit R1 thing, and foldables are kind of dead ends in my opinion.

So it's real but half baked so far

Why was this gadget even released in the first place with all these problems🤯

Neat concept, but it looks to still be in the beta testing stage. Its appearance reminds me of Star Trek communicators.

this is gonna mess with the pacemakers.. especially that magnet.. (failed before launch - ai pin)

"This could have been an app/phone accessory."

I've finally shifted into luddite mode. I find that there are better things to be doing than whatever this is trying to do.

Hello, this is Juicero. Hi Humane, what's up.. we gonna end up with same fate.

Them releasing a product seems to be still in beta is a joke.

Look and talk is in beta. I think it’s unfair to include it alongside production features and appear as a core part of the product.

LMAO when you changed the language to Italian it described what was in front of you, it didn’t translate what you said, I got the feeling that wasn’t what it was supposed to do! 😂 I can imagine you go abroad and request to translate what you’re saying, and instead it describes what’s in front of you, people will think you’re mocking them 😂

Honestly, how popular are voice commands? I swear tech companies have been trying to make this a thing for over 20 years, but who wants to talk to their devices? It’s awkward at home and even worse in public.

Humane has still a lot I mean a LOT of work to do

Apple watch and airpods kills this before it's even launched. I imagine these grifters thought they'd get bought out before they actually had to ship a product.

Google assistant and Lense do a better job not to mention all the AI in modern phones now too 😂

This is literally the FIRST reviewer I see who said that the battery life of this glorified broche is "actually pretty long".

This is pointless. We already use our smartphones for this. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Awesome! A more frustrating siri.

I rather play the Virtual Boy

Good video but I will not buy this my phone is faster and plus there are Ai apps like Pi from inflection Ai and co pilot and ChatGPT and so great video and review.

FINALLY!!

Don’t waste your money. Apple and android are working on sophisticated AI that will dwarf what this can do. They have been advertising hard ever since ios18 was announced. It will do this and more plus you don’t have to carry around an extra device. I bet you anyone who got this still has their regular phones on them at all time.

not all ex apple employees are meant to be entrepreneurs. some just gotta find another company to work in.

Why is this not a pair of glasses with the projector on one side and the camera on the other instead of a pin weighing down your clothes. Just put clear lenses in for folks who don't need them, and prescription for those who do. You'd have more room for batteries, look less goofy, and the audio could be directed only to you instead of everyone around you without losing any of the functionality.

I really hope all the engineers leave ASAP and find better companies to work for before word gets out that the product sucks.... because there is something to be said about the technical challenges that were overcome while building the pin (esp the laser projection) but man is it a stupid application

'Magnetically charge...' dafuq? The time delay, while you wait for a response, is painfully long. Thanks for the honest review. I liked the idea but all reviews so far have been awful to mediocre. Set a timer for 20 minutes....Sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Every video about the AI pin has these cringe moments, were people are looking into the void waiting for an answer.

I'll stick with my Apple Watch (which does far more useful tasks with Siri than this pin at a fraction of the cost). - It's also just really striking that for all the complaints with Siri, she's still far more accurate with asking questions and getting correct answers than I've been seeing in all of these AI pin reviews. This might be the "future" of tech, but at this price and all of the lacking features that are still "coming soon" it's definitely not TODAY's tech. It also doesn't solve any existing problem. If taking a phone out of one's pocket or looking down at one's wrist is too taxing of an effort, then humanity is just a few short years from being the lazy blobs of mass from WALL-E.

cool idea but.... the tech is not there yet to make it feasible too slow, too bad a connection to the cloud, too limited in scope and feature set, etc... oh and far too expensive for the masses

The subscription will chase people away. The device itself is expensive and then you have to add subscription then its costly. If you dont get a subscription not sure how useful the device will be.

Its literally takes minutes to respond when asking something 😂 is that gonna be the future 😂

Translations were wrong

Hardware looks cool. That’s all.

😂 This is still obviously pre-release software, the software is going to be extremely stealer as it ages. Cosmo OS in itself is a game changer being able to both run on devices and servers simultaneously. We should be getting the software showcased by Bethany Bongiorno and Imran Chaudhri in the video before the handbook video , Vision is still in beta also. I like the idea of still being present and free but still have the functionality of a smart handsfree assistant.

What percentage of users will put this in the washer? I'd say at least >30%

This host needs a new wig guy badly

Looks like AI PIN will get roasted badly lol

Pay 700+30 monthly to ask for temp 😂

I am sick of everything being a gotdamn subscription. You have no idea how many things I will not interact with because they are subscription. I think I needed a TV remote on my phone and there’s an app for it, but it’s a subscription no app for me. I’m not paying a subscription for stuff that I used to just be able to buy.

Nope!!! Nothing i want!!!

Juicero again

Mistakes a ca for a movie. How could anything be worse than Siri?

“It’s made by former Apple employees” Humane: I can’t do that right now Me: yup definitely worked at Apple.

Pin

That delay alone is enough to make me say "meh". And also, I don't even use the assistant on my phone or TV or tablet or computer.. Let's be honest, no AI assistant is even remotely fast or useful enough to be part of anyone's life. I use it to demonstrate why AI is currently stupid and hilarious, more of a joke party trick than an assistant.

Ai would be way better integrated into Glases or Brain Chip.

The whole tap to control interface, and projection. Literally any phone is better and more efficient than that. You are just looking at your hand now... Solution looking for a problem.
