In this period of rapid development of artificial intelligence, technology giants and innovative companies are constantly launching new products. However, there are serious questions about the functionality and practical use of these products. Products like Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1 are at the center of these question marks, especially after iFixit’s detailed reviews.
Rabbit R1 has no AI Processing Unit
Rabbit R1 has been criticized for not having the hardware components to perform artificial intelligence operations on the device. The device relies on the cloud for its AI operations, which calls into question its value as a standalone AI platform. Although it was released, it could have been in the form of an app that could also run on Android phones, which begs the question‘Why was it produced as a separate device?
Humane AI Pin: Design and Battery Access Issues
Humane AI Pin is a device that includes projection and sensors. However, according to iFixit’s analysis, the internal design of this device is similar to that of the Apple Watch, making it difficult for users to access the battery. The limited charge cycle and rapid depletion of batteries further complicate repair and maintenance processes.
As a result, iFixit emphasizes that both devices have the hardware capacity to be an application, but in their current state they contain unnecessary hardware. This shows the need for a more transparent and functional approach to the marketing of AI-oriented products. Users should take such reviews into account when making purchasing decisions and go for technologies that they really need and are functional.
