The Humane AI Pin debacle is a reminder that AI alone doesn’t make a compelling product

Summary

Nutrition label

67% Informative

The AI Pin was released in April of 2024 to some of the worst reviews I’ve ever seen for a consumer tech product.

There was simply no intelligence to be found here, artificial or otherwise.

The company was trying to build a new type of hardware altogether, and history tells us that the products in a new space are going to be far from perfect.

Apple Intelligence is still half -baked at best, but at least you can turn it off and ignore it. But the AI Pin, well, relied completely on AI , and it wasn’t just “not ready” — it was one of the worst devices we’ve ever tried in our nearly 21 years as a publication. For some thousands of early adopters, that means their Pin will be a brick in just a few days , with no financial compensation coming their way. But hey, at least it will still be able to tell you its battery level..
