Honestly to me I'd actually want, smart glasses in a form where I can actually control every bit of the data etc.. (though I can also see the problem of others having it.

Same vein that I like having security cameras around my yard, that I can access from anywhere. BUT big caveat.. I don't use any of their built in networking, actually my router only gives them local internet access just in case the camera manufacturers did something shady, they only connect to my frigate system.

Something like glasses and AI I pretty much feel the same way. Something like glasses that record, and an AI that indexes all the information, alllows me to go to a computer and say "did john smith ever tell me his birthday". and be able to discover that even for in person conversations would be an insane QOL tool. But only even remotely worth considering if that data isn't going to every other company.
