Hey Reader, We're pumped about OpenAI's Sora model, but so far we've only seen a few demos.

Hello Reader, Google’s artificial intelligence search feature left users scratching their heads after a number of outrageous and incorrect search responses went viral. The company recently introduced AI Overview, an advanced search feature designed to provide quick, summarized answers to users' queries using AI. However, instead of enhancing the search experience, users saw responses advising people to add non-toxic glue to pizza and eat rocks for nutrition. These errors sparked an outcry...

Hey Reader, Today I'm excited to share an article from IWAI contributor Nyasha Green.

Hey Reader, Another week, another implosion from a handheld / wearable AI company. Last week we talked about the extremely negative reception for the Humane Ai Pin: one popular tech commentator, Marques Brownlee, suggested it was the worst product he’d ever reviewed.

Three months ago I detailed my skepticism about both...

Hey Reader, Building an AI smartphone replacement is a tall order. We saw the Rabbit R1 attempt this feat – and despite lots of preorders, I'm not sure that device is going to make a dent in any market other than "people who buy lots of early-stage AI products." And at the behest of my Incubator students, I bought the AI-powered Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, which are chunky and uncomfortable but do technically play music and allow me to talk to Meta's large language model with voice commands....
