I like how excited the waitress got after the mandarin translation 👏

It is like they are trying to make Siri look good

These devices all have the same two purposes:
1. Have the customer beta-test them so that the manufacturer can eventually come out with something that's actually worth buying.
2. Collect data to train their AI systems with.
Conclusion: *you* are paying the manufacturer to work for them and give them your data. These stupid things are absolutely not worth buying.

“What a good day for Siri”😂😂😂 such a fantastic insult for all involved including you Siri 😂

For once MKBHD did not made the best tech review. Great and very entertaining job! 👏🏻👏🏻

This is very useful for the that don't carry a phone with them.
But I'm guessing if they are not willing to carry a phone there is no way they'd carry one of these lol.

Joanna is so funny. Love every video she does

The real usable AI gadget is the one you've got in your pocket. It's not the humane pin. It's your phone.

I love how much effort Joanne put into these tech reviews.

The meta glasses form factor is a winner

[cheese]

i have the rayban meta and i actually like it.

[dudebro]

of all the boring tests about these stupid devices, I like your review the most :)

I'm not gonna lie, the humane AI pin sounds EXTREMELY depressed.

I love how psyched the waitress was when the Humane worked.

[CzarCustom]

This is another phase in which some companies try to predict the next big thing and miserably miss…like those modular phones or google glass back then

[TechWithBrett]

Just makes me realize how far ahead Google Assistant was when released.

[dccampfin]

This was fun to watch. Thanks Joanna!

[krokatoamonster]

Both Humane and Rabbit will iterate and get better until they are bought by or bested by devices introduced by Google and/or Apple. I'm sure in near future all of us will be comfortable using multi-modal devices. Great review of this early technology.
