Does Humane’s AI Pin live up to its name?

Humane’s much-hyped AI Pin is finally here, and unfortunately, it sucks. This week, Cherlynn and Devindra join Michael Fisher (aka MrMobile) and WIRED Reviews Editor Julian Chokkattu to discuss AI Pins and the many ways they fail. It’s often inaccurate, takes terrible photos, and is too hot. Not great for something you’re supposed to wear all day long! Is there any hope for gadgets that rely on artificial intelligence? In addition, “Washington Post” columnist Christopher Velazco also joined in to discuss Apple’s approval of using old iPhone components for repairs.
