In the YouTube video titled “The Worst Product I’ve Ever Reviewed… For Now,” the reviewer discusses his experience with the Humane AI Pin, a new wearable computer with an AI inside designed to help users throughout their day. Despite its impressive hardware and innovative features, such as a camera, microphone, touchpad, projector with gesture control, and strong build quality, the reviewer expresses disappointment with the user experience and lack of integration with smartphones. He finds the device too expensive, with a cost of $700 plus a $24 monthly subscription, and notes that it often provides incorrect information, has poor voice recognition, and lacks essential features and apps.
