The Humane Ai Pin, an AI-powered wearable launched less than a year ago, is now effectively useless after its core features were shut down following an acquisition by HP, leaving many early adopters with a $700 device that no longer functions as advertised. Consumers who purchased the pin are encouraged to file a complaint with the FTC, arguing that disabling advertised features is unfair and deceptive.
Alternative solutions include pressuring Humane to open-source the software for community-led development, responsibly disposing of the device at an e-recycler after removing the battery, or even turning it into framed art as a reminder of the failed tech. Despite the lack of refunds, consumers are urged to explore these options to mitigate the impact of the Ai Pin's premature demise.
