Their demo of AI Q&A in the announcement video (@3:36) is totally wrong. The Pin says the April 2024 total eclipse will be best viewed from Australia and East-Timor... Except the eclipse passes over the US and will be nowhere near Australia. The answer seems to be about a partial eclipse in April 2023. How was that not fact checked???

That's what you get when your futuristic "AI pin" works by making an API request to an off-the-shelf LLM (ChatGPT I assume) that was last trained a year ago.

  Eclipses are extremely predictable, right? I don't think the problem is that the LLM has old data, the problem is that is wrong.

This is especially embarrassing because their logo is literally an eclipse and it's the name of one of their color options... Seriously??

  They're not "color options" they are "colorways", you rube. And it doesn't come in three shades of grey, it comes in "Lunar", "Equinox", and "Eclipse". Those colors are worth easily $100 of the MSRP right there.

    The colourway of their stock price is soon to come in "blood moon".

      This company will never go public. It's share price has never been anything but 0.

  Apple doesn't make anything close to this hardware?

    eh, this is essentially a phone or a watch without a screen, and a bunch of "inventions" to accomodate the fact that it doesn't have a screen.

    Ha you're kidding right? This is almost an attempt at adding another product to Apple's existing range of hardware, which is all phenomenally close to this hardware by being a chip, a camera, audio IO, and in their case a screen rather than a projector. You couldn't get closer if you tried.

The demo was showing how you can interact with it. I don't think this is a big deal. If they're using GPT-4 or another model, then it will be resolved when the AI model is.

  What reason do we have to believe that the underlying technology will improve enough for the product to be actually usable? Many of this product's features require a degree of trust that clearly isn't merited at this stage. An assistant that tells me to go to an event at a place it's not happening is worse than useless. Their advertising shows a person asking "can I eat this?" with a piece of fruit -- that's not a question you want a hallucinated answer to!
