The Humane AI pin is a new wearable computer with AI capabilities that aims to assist users throughout their day. Despite its impressive hardware and potential, the pin falls short in many areas, making it the worst product the reviewer has ever reviewed. The pin is a stand-alone device with its own Internet connection and phone number, which allows for constant connectivity but also presents limitations. The hardware is well-crafted and packed with features, but the device's functionality and performance are lacking.
The pin's AI assistant can answer questions, provide historical facts, make phone calls, send text messages, take pictures, and interact with the world around the user. However, the device's reliance on cloud processing leads to slow and often inaccurate responses. Additionally, the battery life is inconsistent, requiring frequent charging and booster swaps. The weight of the device and its limited compatibility with various outfits add to the overall user experience issues.
The pin's projector feature, while technically impressive, is not very readable outdoors and lacks practicality in everyday use. Furthermore, the device's lack of app support and integration with other essential services such as Uber, Spotify, and Gmail further limits its usefulness. The reviewer emphasizes that smartphones outperform the pin in almost every aspect, making it redundant for most users.
The pin's limitations as a standalone device, its inability to access personal information from the user's smartphone, and its separate phone number contribute to its overall ineffectiveness as an AI assistant. The reviewer suggests that the pin's future potential may be hindered by its current standalone design and lack of integration with smartphones.
Despite a few positive experiences with the pin, such as its ability to save ideas and capture unique first-person videos, the reviewer ultimately advises against purchasing the device. The pin's current shortcomings outweigh its potential future updates, and users are cautioned against buying a product based on promised improvements. The reviewer acknowledges the effort put into creating a new product but emphasizes the significant room for improvement before considering it a viable option for consumers.
