That’s it. You want to replace your cell phone?
A new AI device that has recently been screened.AI PinAfter attracting global attention, it was immediately questioned.
Someone bluntly said, isn’t this?Google glassesandpagerA combination of?
No screen, no APP, and a camera.
Because it was jointly built by former Apple executives and invested by OpenAI Altman, AI Pin attracted the attention of the whole world as soon as it was released.
It has no screen and only supports voice gesture interaction, but it has many AI capabilities and can handle many smart phone tasks. This is regarded by many people asThe challenger of smart phone"iPhone in the AI era."
But these highlights have also become the reason why AI Pin has been questioned:
How can voice interaction guarantee privacy in public places?Is it retrogressive not to support APP?The camera on the chest is aimed directly at the face.Without a screen, won’t the cost of users understanding information increase?Some people even refer to AI Pin as "recently seen"The most hyped, meaningless and unrealistic"Hardware devices.
So, what do critics think of this product?
"It’s rare to see anything weirder than Google Glass."
Let’s briefly review AI Pin first.
It is a wearable AI hardware that can be attracted to the collar by magnets. Equipped with a 13-megapixel camera, it can take pictures and have visual recognition ability. The interaction is mainly completed by voice+gesture, and you can speak by pressing the button of AI Pin.
Because there is no screen, the display is realized by laser projection, which can be projected on the palm and desktop. At the same time, it can support gesture interaction, such as turning the palm-switchable button and clicking a little finger to confirm.
Looking at it, the current skeptics mainly pay attention to the following aspects of AI Pin:
No third-party apps are supported.No screen makes the interaction more complicated.Low local computing performanceSecurity and privacy risksNothing is more convenient than a mobile phone.First, AI Pin clearly stated at the time of release.No third-party apps are supported..
This means that the functions available on AI Pin are those already in the system.
If you want to listen to music, you can only use the official cooperation platform of AI Pin (Tidal, with a market share of less than 2%).
However, critics believe that the survival of many terminal hardware products depends on whether a rich and perfect application ecosystem has been built. This operation of AI Pin seems to be self-defeating.
Second,The absence of a physical screen makes the interaction more complicated..
Sceptics believe that when not looking at holographic projection, AI Pin users can only complete the operation through what the intelligent voice assistant said. This is obviously more difficult. Human beings read faster than listening and reading.
AI Pin has two indicators, which can flash 5 or 6 kinds of lights respectively, so it is necessary to remember the meaning of different color indicators.
And removing the physical screen makes the input more complicated, and users need to learn gestures from scratch.
Third,AI Pin’s local processing ability is not high..
According to reports, AI Pin’s built-in chip has 4GB of memory and 32GB of storage space, which is completely incomparable with the current mobile phone chip.
Therefore, it is speculated that this requires AI Pin to be networked in most cases, and it should be very dependent on cloud computing, otherwise the AI function will not be available.
However, which Qualcomm chip AI Pin used was not disclosed, and some people said: Is it because the specifications are too low?
This also makes people feel that in the case of such a low hardware level, AI Pin has sold for $699, which is more expensive than Apple Watch with display. Isn’t it a bit …Expensive?
Fourth,How does AI Pin guarantee security and privacy??
On the one hand, voice-based interaction makes it impossible to keep the interactive content secret in public places, and the noisy environment may also affect the interactive effect.
On the other hand, AI Pin’s built-in camera is always placed on the user’s chest and directly hits everyone face to face. How to ensure their privacy and safety? This has fallen into the dilemma that Google Glass encountered before.
Finally,Is the way of AI Pin really more reasonable and convenient in real life scenes??
Some people think that this way of pinning a small hardware on your chest and then talking to it all the time will only make you a freak.
Some of the functions in the previous promotional film don’t seem to be practical, such as holding up a dragon fruit and asking AI Pin: Can I eat it?
For example, walking on the street and talking to AI Pin, the skeptic said that he was not willing to do so at all. Moreover, voice assistants such as Siri and Alexa have existed for many years, and this interactive habit has not been formed in society.
If you want to quit your cell phone, maybe AI Pin is a good choice.This way, you won’t want to brush Weibo and ins often..
There are also many smart phone functions that AI Pin can achieve, such as taking photos, sending and receiving text messages, shopping, etc. The skeptics said:Is it possible that you still want to do these things on your mobile phone?
In a word, how eye-catching AI Pin’s ingenious interaction design was at first, is now questioned.
Ron Amadeo, the author of Ars Technica, bluntly said that since Magic Leap, no hardware manufacturer has advertised like AI Pin, but at the same time, it has not shown anything.
△ The AR effect displayed in △Magic Leap promotion cannot be realized in actual products.
Netizen: Let’s be an accessory for mobile phones.
Of course, many netizens also hold similar views.
Some people think that silicon valley innovators seem to have forgotten that if they want to make a new thing, they must be smart phones +XX, that is, an accessory.
99% people may not accept this minimalism.
As well as the propaganda film of AI Pin, there is a big language model "illusion".
People can’t help but feel that AI Pin’s company is so unreliable …
There is obviously something wrong with the content of almond protein in the promotional film. I can’t imagine they just put it in …
However, some people have affirmed the concept of AI Pin, which is really more convenient than wearing AR glasses. It may be a bit strange to watch it on your chest now, but it may be accepted gradually in the future.
Others added that it is too early to judge whether it can replace mobile phones, and AI Pin represents whether the basic technology is changing to a greater extent.
After all, smartphones have become "ubiquitous" after countless iterations.
On Thursday, AI Pin started online booking, and the delivery time is scheduled for early next year.
I don’t know how to evaluate it after someone really measures the experience.
