[@Alice_Fumo]

You do not understand the definition of the word "biased". As long as someone has any sort of want for things going one way over the other, they are biased. For example, in this case, there is a financial incentive for making engaging content to maximize clicks to maximize them $$$s. Whether that makes it more attractive for him to destroy this product regardless of whether it's good is irrelevant to the discussion of whether he's biased. The best anyone can do is typically "making an attempt to appear unbiased or correct for their biases."

[@DavorBa]

@@Alice_Fumo I believe you are overthinking it, as the definition of "biased" is: unfairness or prejudice against someone or something. It goes without saying that every content creator has a need to make watchable engaging content. But when reviewing products it can go two ways: they are pro or against something. Their "bias" of making a good video will pervade the video in any case, so they might as well share their honest uncensored experience and let the content write itself. Was Arun unfair in his criticism against this product ? I don't think so. Did he have prejudice ? Well if you count his desire to like this product, then yes. But technically no.

@@Druze_Tito ​​⁠Well one thing is for sure, Humane isn’t sponsoring them for the review of this video 😂 otherwise it would’ve been stated as such. Plus, the only reason you’re not gonna see an nothing-but-negative review of the iPhone, Samsung, Pixel etc is because is far as the tech and ability of the devices are concerned, they’re pretty decent. Privacy concerns are a completely diff matter and don’t belong in ANY electronic review bc if I was gonna make a video pointing out that Google uses every sliver of your data and spies on you (just like every social media app on the market), then I’d do it on a separate video. But I get what you’re saying 100%. These guys have made a nice living off of reviewing tech, so I’m sure they don’t want to piss off Big Tech in the process, makes sense to me 🤷🏼‍♀️ Not saying I AGREE with it, but that I simply understand it.

They affect the sales potential of this product, which is like unbrushed diamond - it will only get better and it's better than a smartphone for busy people. I will say it again - if this was Apple's product, these influencers would be much milder in their critics. P.S. - I used to watch the black pal, not anymore, unsubbed long time ago.

[@Infact77]

@@Druze_Tito You're one of those. Yes, they (the reviewers) affect the sales of this product, for a very good reason. It is not a good product, and it is not at all worth buying. They don't want people to waste their money. That is the point of a review, it affects the sales of a product, and tells people whether they should, or should not buy it. Back to what you said, that it has potential. So why don't you work on it and make it a good product, before trying to sell it? For 700$, may I add. A quality product is more likely to garner positive reviews and generate sales through word-of-mouth recommendations. Investing in product development to enhance its features, functionality and overall quality can significantly improve its marketability and customer satisfaction, which will lead to less negative reviews, and more profit. I don't even think you watched the video, and saw all of it's flaws. This thing, in it's current stage, is not better than a smartphone, even for busy people. And I'd go as far to say that it will never be as good as a smartphone, let alone be better than one. Overall, relying on the product's potential, and hoping that it does get better while it is falling incredibly short currently, is not a good reason to spend 700$ on it.

It's also much more stylish than wearing a black cube on your chest. Once it gets access to AI-powered assistants it'll just get even better.

They’re pointless. Once Apple and/or android puts chatGPT into their voice assistant, this entire company is worth nothing. The self-importance of these people because they worked on the original iPhone and iPod is hilarious.

[@six-bobcats]

The fact that the CEO had to supervise him while he was reviewing their "product" sums it up.

[@natb9919]

They seem incredibly out of touch with reality, like people with a lot of intelligence in one area but no perspective in general life. The idea that having a 24/7 AI assistant literally attached to you somehow helps you "stay in the moment" more than a smartphone is honestly one of the silliest things I've heard supposed smart people come up with. Thinking we need a new "smart device" that does most of the same stuff a smartphone does, just without the visual aspect, to stop relying on another smartphones is a peak 'intelligent people being stupid' moment. This isn't going to make people less reliant on apps or a smartphone, they just want a piece of the consumerism pie and they're using the idea of it being "good for humanity™" as their selling point. Also the name "Humane" just feels trashy, especially because now we've seen the device in action it doesn't seem like they were thinking of what humanity needs while making it at all. Even the thought process behind it seems to be just a random gadget to add to the market and make them rich. Calling your company "Humane" seems like they're trying too hard to be perceived as "the good guys" of the tech world. It's overkill and a desperate attempt to build a public image that will sell.

It’s slower than what I would want. Hopefully he, the maker, has a patent. People would definitely copy what will be an awesome device to have in the near future.

You know a place where this device like this would be perfect? A Star Trek Starship.

This basically combined the combadge and the tricorder

[@markl6495]

[@santosic]

Maybe not this specific version, but I can definitely see use cases for a more refined, upgraded version that 1) is cheaper and 2) much more advanced, probably running on GPT-5 or whatever a much more advanced model is called in the future. Even better if they can reduce the latency in requests, maybe by also having it run on high-speed 5G- which again, will be something that is more accessible in the future than it is now. So this idea is basically too ahead of its time atm. Already I can see the beginnings of a good product; its quirks just need to be fixed and it'll be there. But it's definitely not there right now, and thus isn't worth even considering buying it.

The Humane AI pin's attempt to marry convenience and innovation is commendable. However, the limitations shown, particularly with connectivity, time lag, and limited app integration, are fundamental barriers. At this stage and price point, it doesn't seem like a feasible daily companion yet. I admire the vision though and look forward to seeing its evolution.

[@BigBen2018]

Is the vision really admirable though? I just don’t see how this could have been a compelling product even if it was the perfect version of itself. It’s just gimmicky nonsense given that one already has a portable device they already carry absolutely everywhere they go and can do much more and provide far more personalized and fine grained experiences. All this hoopla simply to avoid whipping out your phone from your pocket?

The humane ai pin could have very easily ran a language model and voice processor locally. There are tons of open source LLMs that are quite accurate, and voice processors too. This would eliminate the neccessity of a subscription altogether, and would make the pin a lot more useful, considering you could use it in an offline enviornment, with way better response times.

Props for the honest review. Before even watching the video, I could already predict what the issues were going to be and I was indeed correct in that assumption. The other issue is most people have smart watches now too, and all you really need to do is install an ai assistant on it and you pretty much have something that this thing does, without the price tag or need for an additional data plan. Great video Arun.

[@orcslayer900]

That's a great point. In the 150 dollar range I would consider this, in its current form even. At 700 it needs to at least match devices in that range or really excel at something those devices can't do. The benefit of this is convenience, even with a 15 second wait time, I can think of plenty of cases where I would use something like this. (Especially after traveling and wishing I could Google something with one free hand as I'm pulling luggage). But at 700 I'll just wait til my hands are free.
