Generative AI technology explodes! Many products have quickly become associated with AI. For example, the Rabbit R1 and Humane AI Pin, which have attracted much attention, have been dubbed “iPhone killers”. However, as the products were launched, they received a lot of negative reviews and were even considered to be just iPhone killers. An App cannot be called an AI device at all.
The new startup Humane was founded by two former Apple designers, Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno. It unveiled its first product “AI Pin” at last year’s conference. It is claimed to be the first wearable device with AI technology. It has no screen, is compact and capable. Pinned to the chest, the display information will be projected onto the palm of the hand through lasers, and it supports voice and gesture operations. If you have any needs, just tell the AI Pin and you can achieve it directly without any App or screen operation.
After AI Pin was launched, the reviews it received were very miserable. World-renowned technology YouTuber Marques Brownlee Frankly speaking, this is the worst product he has ever reviewed. He bluntly said that the response speed is very slow, even the answers are not very correct, and the battery life cannot last more than a day. Reviews pointed out that anything AI Pin can do now is not only easier to operate through a smartphone, but also more effective, without the need to use it.

However, the lack of basic functions makes this product not so practical.Foreign media Android Authority Research has found that Rabbit R1 is just an Android-supported App that can implement some functions on other phones by installing APK, and cannot be called an AI device.
Although Rabbit founder Jesse Lyu has publicly clarified that the Rabbit R1 system and model need to run on the cloud and have customized software. Without the correct operating system and APK, Rabbit R1 related services will not be available.But foreign media The Verge But he also pointed out that in the face of the existence of a smartphone, Rabbit R1 does not have enough functions to prove this point, and it really looks like an App.
