AI is not a product
Humane is no more. The company that launched one of the first AI-infused devices, the AI Pin, is shutting its servers at the end of the month turning the existing Pins from a device of questionable value into brainless lumps of silicon that need to (hopefully) be recycled. While the death of the AI Pin should surprise no one – the company struggled to convince consumers of its value – there’s a greater lesson here. Namely, AI is not a product.
