A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This would be a completely stupid product idea. I could see why Humane tried such an obviously stupid product, they were a startup that was trying something just in case, and ended up proving how stupid the concept is.
It doesn't matter how bullish one might be about AI, this is a terrible product to facilitate that interaction.
Fine. A camera... That can't tell where the user is looking. Having a device on speaker is generally a rude thing to do.
No one wants to skip having a screen, hell even for AI fanatics video and image generation is a huge use case that this product wouldn't do anything for.
I could imagine a "body cam" pin as a phone accessory. But not as a standalone device. More useful would be something head mounted, and glasses could even do gaze tracking. But I could see people not wanting to wear glasses and selling for a body cam experience for some use cases. But interesting with an AI seems impractical since you would have no agreement on what you are looking at to answer a question.
