This featuring is undoubtedly to compete with, and crush, all of those stand-alone AI wearables that do the same thing. All those products failed, because people either didn’t find it that useful, or the creep factor was too high. I could see some scenarios where it might be useful. Being at a conference, for example, and having a summary of everything I heard in the various presentations. But at the same time, it feels like the people being recorded should have knowledge of, and give consent to, the recording. | | |
| ▲ | gumby271 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | What sucks is that if you've ever pushed back on the people that use those stupid AI recorders they'll insist they're not actually recording you, its just a transcript and summary, and somehow that's fine. I'm not looking forward to more people explaining that to me, especially hardcore Apple fans. | | |
| ▲ | al_borland 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Yeah, I had this happen last time I went to the doctor… one of the last places I’d want it. At least with the Apple one they talked about how it works and it’s not some random product off Amazon doing god knows what. My dad is probably the most likely person in my life to use something like this. I could see him sending me the summary of our dinner conversation or something, which would be very weird and off-putting. He has been very concerned about his memory as he ages, so I could see him using something like this to help with age related memory issues. | | |

| ▲ | nomel an hour ago | parent [-] | | No, that part requires intent, where you have to turn it on with the button. It was in the demo. Regardless, you'll be mortified if you search the app store for software or Amazon for hardware devices that do this! You can still pick up voice recorders at Staples, actually (I was surprised to see they still sell them, and they have weeks of recording time now, along with transcription software). |
