Props to Arun for being honest about the product, rather than pretending it is better than it is just becuase he met with the CEO.
Yeah no, not really surprising. Most tech RUclipsrs would do the same
You're talking about the guy who went to the google CEO during their foldable announcements and told them straight up "Samsung is better, what made you drift so apart from that?" 😂 . I think we wouldn't accept anything other than honesty from him, as he is expecting from himself. Props to him indeed 👏 👏 .
@@blackpepper2610 yeah no a lot of tech youtubers wont do that. They want good brand representation and they want other companies to see that if you pay them and invite them to events that they get easy promotion so that the youtuber gets invited to more events.
this video will hurt this channel in the future with brands being less likely to invite him to see/test prototypes many techyoutubers wont take that risk and hurt their own channel
I think he is still a little softer on it. Because that pin is actual trash. Literally ZERO reasons why you would need this.

Ppl say Marques killed the company, but I think Arun went even more brutal and honest on this thing 💀
Thats what im saying😂
I heard that before, but I don't quite get it. If a honest review kills your company, that's not the reviewers fault.
Marques was also honest!?
Yeah I know people were all over Marques because of the title, but the actual video wasn’t that brutal
They both gave their honest take on the product. Arun really dug into why its really bad , while Marques went for a super clickbaity title that harmed the company more than the review itself
It's so fucking refreshing to see true opinion and not some sponsored rubbish
Uh-huh honey🎶🎵
Bingledee
There’s no such thing as true opinion lol nor false opinion. But I get what u mean like truthfully HONEST opinion or sum
I'm not sure why it's refreshing; there are plenty of channels that do truthful reviews like this, lol.
@@bigsur370what they mean is the opinions of the actual channel owner rather than what the company tells them to say
this is why i love MrWhoseTheBoss. he literally met the CEO and knew that he would watch this, but still gave his honest feedback.

True but he still is nice about him while the product is just a scam with a lot of fake promises that they will not be able to deliver but still receive people’s money.
@@hystericthumbwhat's wrong about being nice to another human being
you mean mrhosutebose
@@hystericthumb they have the choice to not buy and sue the company if their promises at point of sale were fake. Don't expect everyone to be as toxic and bitter to people as you.
Guy's unbiased, willing to say NO despite speaking with the CEO, and provides suggestions and critical feedback for product improvement instead of just roasting without basis... Kudos to you, nice job...
You do not understand the definition of the word "biased". As long as someone has any sort of want for things going one way over the other, they are biased.
For example, in this case, there is a financial incentive for making engaging content to maximize clicks to maximize them $$$s. Whether that makes it more attractive for him to destroy this product regardless of whether it's good is irrelevant to the discussion of whether he's biased.
The best anyone can do is typically "making an attempt to appear unbiased or correct for their biases."
@@Alice_Fumo I believe you are overthinking it, as the definition of "biased" is: unfairness or prejudice against someone or something.
It goes without saying that every content creator has a need to make watchable engaging content. But when reviewing products it can go two ways: they are pro or against something. Their "bias" of making a good video will pervade the video in any case, so they might as well share their honest uncensored experience and let the content write itself.
Was Arun unfair in his criticism against this product ? I don't think so.
Did he have prejudice ? Well if you count his desire to like this product, then yes. But technically no.
@@DavorBaI agree
@@Alice_FumoI mean he would get the same amount of views if he glazed the product, calling it next gen and whatnot
Well trust me if it were to Apple he will have a different narrative, I guess it depends on on how thick is your check at the end of the day
The fact that "call Arun" took so long to process tells you everything you need to know about this device's limitations.
Lol. What?
Yeah that was a HUGE delay. Pretty much guarantees that all the processing is being done on a server, it simply records your speech and uploads that audio to a server.
@@HotTakeAndy Lol didn't you notice the delay? :D
@@Jokamutta I was referring to “tells you everything you need to know about this device’s limitations.” Like no, it doesn’t.
Arun and Marques reviewing this product showed to me why I love them as content creators and tech reviewers: their honesty. I will always use their videos not only to entertain myself, but also to give me a good idea about the product I wish to purchase.
And as much as I wanna love the Pin as well, I agree with them. It ain't there. And props to them for being so brutally honest about, despite the fact that-at least in Arun's case-the CEO was present
Their sponsored opinions. I am yet to see them hating on stupid smartphones from Samsung, Google and Apple.
@@Druze_Tito
Well one thing is for sure, Humane isn’t sponsoring them for the review of this video 😂 otherwise it would’ve been stated as such. Plus, the only reason you’re not gonna see an nothing-but-negative review of the iPhone, Samsung, Pixel etc is because is far as the tech and ability of the devices are concerned, they’re pretty decent.
Privacy concerns are a completely diff matter and don’t belong in ANY electronic review bc if I was gonna make a video pointing out that Google uses every sliver of your data and spies on you (just like every social media app on the market), then I’d do it on a separate video. But I get what you’re saying 100%.
These guys have made a nice living off of reviewing tech, so I’m sure they don’t want to piss off Big Tech in the process, makes sense to me 🤷🏼♀️
Not saying I AGREE with it, but that I simply understand it.
@@Druze_Tito I think you don't actually watch these guys' content at all, or you would know that both of them have roasted both Samsung and Apple products before.
@@xvgm24 Criticized - yes, roasted - no. For this product they should put pioneering on the pedestal, then criticize second. They affect the sales potential of this product, which is like unbrushed diamond - it will only get better and it's better than a smartphone for busy people. I will say it again - if this was Apple's product, these influencers would be much milder in their critics.
P.S. - I used to watch the black pal, not anymore, unsubbed long time ago.
@@Druze_Tito You're one of those.
Yes, they (the reviewers) affect the sales of this product, for a very good reason. It is not a good product, and it is not at all worth buying. They don't want people to waste their money. That is the point of a review, it affects the sales of a product, and tells people whether they should, or should not buy it.
Back to what you said, that it has potential. So why don't you work on it and make it a good product, before trying to sell it? For 700$, may I add. A quality product is more likely to garner positive reviews and generate sales through word-of-mouth recommendations. Investing in product development to enhance its features, functionality and overall quality can significantly improve its marketability and customer satisfaction, which will lead to less negative reviews, and more profit.
I don't even think you watched the video, and saw all of it's flaws. This thing, in it's current stage, is not better than a smartphone, even for busy people. And I'd go as far to say that it will never be as good as a smartphone, let alone be better than one.
Overall, relying on the product's potential, and hoping that it does get better while it is falling incredibly short currently, is not a good reason to spend 700$ on it.
Your last sentence "until Google acquires it..." probably sums up the purpose of the company's existence.
It's not an IP so I don't think they fulfilled this purpose
_Unless_ Google acquires it.
@@progbarock then what would be the acquired value?
@@MarioCola dunno, but something like this could have limited use.
If Google does then this will join their infamous graveyard sooner than a year
I respect you for standing up and saying "NO" this is not a necessary purchase item. Especially when you were with the CEO you had every opportunity to upsell the product but you wisely evaluated the pros and cons making it clear that this is just another gimmick. Thanks Arun. This is why I am glad to be a subscriber and will always be.

To be fair, this product is such an obviously bad proposition, that even if Jesus himself was the ceo, there would be be no way to recommend it without losing all integrity.
@@PastelLavenderYT I know this is probably a bot, but if you're not: do you seriously think this works? Like, seriously.

Exactly what I thought. Basically it could have been a smart watch like design.
Thanks for the review.
Or maybe just integrate it into a smart watch as an app or a service. Why create 'yet another device'?

he is such a a genuine and great person. He said all the benefits and good points while giving genuine feedback on how the product could be improved.
Yes Arun is not a jerk
humane is marketing to the wrong audience this device would kill it in office spaces
imagine you're a busniess man talking to a client that only speaks spanish
imagine if you need to tell your co worker something important fast
imagine if you you need to find something like a date on a document
imagine if you need to know where your co workers are in the office
it would automatically clock in an employee in when it connects to the office wifi
and clock out when they leave in order to calculate work hours

@@vikasgadari562 well, no
@JoulieRodgers Maybe you should stop "literally begging" and actually make some decent content
That final point is exactly what I was thinking. An interface in a pin which pairs with your phone for data, storage, processing etc. would make so much sense and be something I would be legitimately interested in. There is even the potential for something like this to act as the controller for AR glasses to remove the awkward navigational problems those have. I can see a pin being a great part of a system but not as a stand-alone device.
Reviews like this are genuinely what demonstrate the quality of your reviews. They are honest, detailed, comprehensively address every aspect, and your criticism isn't one dimensional-- you give genuine feedback to implement to the company so it can improve on its next product.
True
Yeah
That's actually a great way to put it "You really want to love it, but you can't"
@JoulieRodgersMaybe you should try to make a better video. 😉🙂
@JoulieRodgersno
You can't love it, bevause you are a sentient human, and you understand the slave chains are shiny high tech, but they are still slave chains, owned and run by the Master corporation, and they do not care that their technology will destroy society and harm humanity. Because enslaving and exploiting everyone is the goal of the Corporations.
That's what I really 💭 no of this pin...wanna love it but cant
The fact you went into detail with every single question that actually made me concerned about the problems that’s just amazing how he did it he thought of it so well
Dude watching this self destruct on reviews is glorious
I truly appreciate Arun's dedication to speaking his mind without feeling pressured to speak positively of a product just because he got to spend some hands-on time with it.
He does choose his words wisely though 😜
Pretty clever use of depth and gesture, I like the concept and I think of the applications for elderly or even just day to day use can be great if it's refined and simplified further.
Edit: Oh I missed the part where this was backed by leading industry companies, and 200mil of support, now I see why it's actually not that impressive, I thought this was made by some small developers.
I showed the original company pitch to an elderly relative and they said "oh hell no. It's already hard enough to use a smartphone, let alone this laser gadget".
It's awful for people with physical disabilities. Bad eyesight, arthritis, hearing difficulties. If you're deaf, it's useless. If you have arthritis, it's painful. Blind, nearly useless, since you can't do the hand interface.
At least laptops and smartphones have text-to-speech capabilities. Accessibility modes like high-contrast and large text, colorblindness adjustments, grayscale, magnifyer, narrator (with a natural speech cadence). Even braille.
Thank you for an honest and very informative review. I`d so like this device to perform as intended. The concept sounds amazing!
I could see something like this being a tool for the blind or visually impaired. I imagine being able to describe what is in front of someone or what they're looking at in great detail could be super valuable.
This was my first thought, surprised it is not mentioned
THAT is a fantastic point.
At that point you could just make an external bluetooth pin that pairs with your phone. There's way more accessibility support on phones
only for blind people that could see before
That already exists through glasses with cameras
"This isn't a medical device."
The Ceo gives a disclaimer as an attempt to avoid liability for false advertisement instead of being upfront and transparent about the device's capabilities and limitations.
If you think a camera with internet access can accurately weigh an item, know exactly how it's cooked and can determine it's exact macro nutrients you might need a medical device for daily life... a helmet.
@@krad1314 Exaggeration... an AI that is trained on enough images of food + calorie and nutrient information could probably give a good estimate. OP never implied an exact requirement, but probably a "good enough" approximation which was not demonstrated in the video.
@krad1314 so you just completely ignored my comment to call me stupid. I would ask that you learn to read so you could respond properly, but that's probably asking too much of a single brain cell.
@krad1314 to be clear, my original post was about some greedy individual lying about his device's capability to get more people to buy it, then making an excuse when it doesn't perform as advertised. But I understand that words and sentences are hard to comprehend for those special individuals like yourself who have to rely on a single brain cell to process all that information.
If it does or attempts to do anything that can be seen as medically related, it has to be certified as a medical device. A process that is extensive, expensive and requires a great deal of scrutiny.
This was the most balanced constructive criticism I’ve ever seen in a RUclips review. I hope they take insight from this!
I have the same reflection without testing it. Nice idea and I also like the thought behind it, but the next big thing is smart glasses that can replace monitors and have a form factor that is not massive.
"That's twice the price of my phone contract"

They should reengineer it to be an A.I. hub that's an extension of your phone, tablet or computer. It would be more useful as a way to interact with your device without interacting with your device. Have most of the a.i. live on device and have it pair with your device thru Bluetooth or hotspot so you don't have to waste money on a another subscription.
You got to love a device that only starts working the millisecond after you've given up all hope.

Google Glass that's powered by AR tech but not as bulky as Vision Pro will certainly reduce the time we spend staring at the phone screen.
It was too far ahead for its time
You hit the nail on the head at the end. Tell me something this $700 + subscription AI pin can do that my $200 Galaxy watch (likely soon to be powered w/Google Gemini) can't do. It can already do things like check the time or weather, and have the world's information easily accessible via Google assistant. It has a screen that is WAY better than this pin's laser projector. It's also much more stylish than wearing a black cube on your chest. Once it gets access to AI-powered assistants it'll just get even better. The only thing it doesn't have is a camera, but the one on this pin is barely useful at all as you pointed out AND I have a phone with Google Lens/circle to search in my pocket already.
And you have not to pay every month to operate your watch😊

My watch and phone can do more than this thing can, but if they make the tech small enough and intergrated it into a smart watch and it used a phones CPU and internet connection then it would be a great peice of tech and might get more people to adapt smart watches.

Great honest review. I love gadgets and have bought many expensive ones that did not work as advertised. I hate this for aiPen and as I said, I nearly pre-ordered one. I love your idea of it being an extension to a phone and being able to record longer, i.e. I work outdoors and would like a record of my work in case there are any issues. But with such a small battery, that may not be possible (Yes, I am aware of body cams.) I sadly predict if they are not already OOB, they will be very soon.
Im not a tech person but I love your videos, your integrity and Just awesome vibes shine thru.
I agree with the smartwatch like aspect, where the pin should have just connected to the smartphone for the first version. The cost would have been lower, leading to better adoption, and thus possibility to improve the other unique features through user feedback. Eventually it would have been a question of “should I ditch my phone”, rather than “do I need this expensive device?”
This is why I am subscribed to mrwhosetheboss. You knew the CEO and the fact he is gonna watch this video yet you were fully honest.
This is why I love this channel, honesty above selling out and making a buck. Keep it up Arun :D

I think this is amazing for blind and sight impaired people, just for orientation and for the "what's in front of me" prompt. It could be incredibly freeing.
Wonderful video. Thank you for not being “bought” by that trip to their company and time with the CEO they gifted you. You fundamentally reviewed and pulled apart the entire concept at its core. Bravo. One sentence I felt was missing right at the end - is that we have watches, we have wireless earbuds for private audio, what do we need this company for - they didn’t even create a single AI model that makes this device useful. They’re pointless. Once Apple and/or android puts chatGPT into their voice assistant, this entire company is worth nothing.
The self-importance of these people because they worked on the original iPhone and iPod is hilarious.
The fact that the CEO had to supervise him while he was reviewing their "product" sums it up.
They seem incredibly out of touch with reality, like people with a lot of intelligence in one area but no perspective in general life. The idea that having a 24/7 AI assistant literally attached to you somehow helps you "stay in the moment" more than a smartphone is honestly one of the silliest things I've heard supposed smart people come up with. Thinking we need a new "smart device" that does most of the same stuff a smartphone does, just without the visual aspect, to stop relying on another smartphones is a peak 'intelligent people being stupid' moment. This isn't going to make people less reliant on apps or a smartphone, they just want a piece of the consumerism pie and they're using the idea of it being "good for humanity™" as their selling point.
Also the name "Humane" just feels trashy, especially because now we've seen the device in action it doesn't seem like they were thinking of what humanity needs while making it at all. Even the thought process behind it seems to be just a random gadget to add to the market and make them rich. Calling your company "Humane" seems like they're trying too hard to be perceived as "the good guys" of the tech world. It's overkill and a desperate attempt to build a public image that will sell.
@@natb9919also, that name sounds like the baby formula „Humana“ 😆

Im a big fan of these calmer and slower paced videos, makes the video feel a whole lot more conversational!
Same! I appreciate the fast paced editing on list videos or videos over maybe 30 minutes but this pace feels perfect for individual reviews
If I was blind, I would buy this. There are instances when being told what is in front of you could really increase quality of life.

CEO was looking too anxious in the chicken nuggets part lol
I watched Marques Brownlee’s first then Mrwhosetheboss’ reviews of this Humane AI Pin. They were pretty harsh on the limitations of the device. But, it has potential. It’s slower than what I would want. Hopefully he, the maker, has a patent. People would definitely copy what will be an awesome device to have in the near future. Someone will add a very decent camera and brighter reflections to make it a convenient usable piece of tech!
Nice save at the end ❤
Honestly, I could see this helping visually impaired people or caregivers for seniors if they worked out the kinks. My mom is blind in one eye and my brother makes her meals. There are times he puts way too many carbs on her plate or sugary/starchy vegetables to be completely balanced.
That interaction with the CEO must've been soo awkward. But it had to be done. Thank you Arun and co. Been seeing this device everywhere and this video answered my questions.
Not everything is awkward zoomie.
When two woke people speak nothing seems awkward anymore
I can see one really cool use for this; construction. It is _really_ awkward to have an expensive and delicate phone in your hand while you're occupied with power tools or physically compromised by the odd configurations of limb and torso that profession perpetually entails. A rugged, inconspicuous device like the Humane pin could be set up to do a lot of useful things in that context, especially if precise (

This would eliminate the neccessity of a subscription altogether, and would make the pin a lot more useful, considering you could use it in an offline enviornment, with way better response times.
Having worked in the visual impairment sector for almost a decade. This item would be invaluable for those with a visual impairment
this is why i love watching mrwhosetheboss he's honest
sameeee
I absolutely LOVE how brutally honest you were
I think Arun has one of the most easy to listen to voices on youtube. He would be good as the voice on audio books.
You know a place where this device like this would be perfect? A Star Trek Starship. Powerful enough processing capacity to host its own AI model, spacious and populated enough to justify day to day use for users, enough mission profile variety for users to fully utilize the badge's functionality. This basically combined the combadge and the tricorder
Won't look out of place either with the other 60"s technology lol. Sounds good on paper but IRL it's basically a Nokia 3310 and a projector. In comparison this makes the iPod Shuffle seem like a good idea.
My immediate thought on that floating UI is it would be better if you could use your other hand to interact with it as if it was a touch display.
But then it would literally be the opposite of hands-free… a hands-full device 😅
"We'll have to fix that" sums up this product perfectly. Fix the fact that it exists. It literally is not needed.
Well isnt this thing basically google assistant but 10 times the price? like I dont even know why the guy produced the product 😂
It's an idea which will get refined. The purpose of producing this product is to garner sponsors and raise 'money'. Seriously guys, wtf were you doing at your school? This is just so basic 💀
More like a 1000 times the price@@Autoblox0
Maybe not this specific version, but I can definitely see use cases for a more refined, upgraded version that 1) is cheaper and 2) much more advanced, probably running on GPT-5 or whatever a much more advanced model is called in the future. Even better if they can reduce the latency in requests, maybe by also having it run on high-speed 5G- which again, will be something that is more accessible in the future than it is now. So this idea is basically too ahead of its time atm.
Already I can see the beginnings of a good product; its quirks just need to be fixed and it'll be there. But it's definitely not there right now, and thus isn't worth even considering buying it.

MrWhoseTheBoss always brings amazing content. Love his transparency and always looks out for consumers around the world! A Top guy indeed!!!💯%!!!
What Arun says at the end makes the most sense, this thing as an extension of your phone, a kind of alternative or even companion to a smartwatch, would make so much more sense...
In 1983 a product came out called the Butler in a Box. It promised features that we are just now getting to work correctly. Humane AI Pin is the Butler in a Box of the 2020s.
No, it isn’t
@@Alphoric It's a analogy.
Just now getting to work properly? The butler in a box only worked with simple voice commands that you needed to configure, it didn’t understand a thing you said. You could configure « David, sh*t on me » to turn the light on. It just understood the tone of your voice, not what you said.
How odd, I just watched a video about that. Such a cool (although flawed) piece of '80s tech!
@@lemur8111 Read the comment again. It says PROMISED. i.e advertised.
we are moving back in time, man just modernized a pager
I LITERALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THIS HOLYSHIT 😂
You wrong for this 😂😂. You didn’t have to do them like this.
I honestly didn't recognize this video since I don't think I've ever seen Arun look that grumpy.
I honestly cant wait to see what is going to happen to this. I think this product will be very useful in the future!
>$24
>that's 2x of what I'm paying on my phone's contract
*cries in $80 American phone bill*
This is the main takeaway of the video
@@Yeah_Toast Yes.
get mint mobile
Yeah the us phone companies screw you over, I get 200gb data, unlimited text and calls for $12 a month in the uk, also the unused data rolls over to the next month
@@bradliam11tbf the UK is a lot smaller than the US so it must be a lot cheaper for the telecom companies here.
Also, props for telling it straight, right in the thumbnail!
We need more like him
I love this… I was seriously considering getting one of these biggest of the pain In my hands and always messaging clients or just taking notes in general, so now I can say for sure that I won’t be buying this. Unfortunately he just tanked this companies chances of survival but love the way you talks about the bad and the good and giving it a glimpse of hope for the future to come
Thank you for saving my wallet!
With some changes to how you interact with it it seams like it could be of great help to visualy impared people, just the "telling you what things are" (even though you can do that in other ways) seams useful.
the "when you are looking something up but looking down" is brilliant
Mortis?
I respect that he gave a constructive honest criticism with advices on how to improve the product
13:56 it also flat out wouldn’t work on the tube.
I aint buying anything sold based on "it uses AI" until it can be processed offline on hardware.
Props for the honest review. Before even watching the video, I could already predict what the issues were going to be and I was indeed correct in that assumption. The other issue is most people have smart watches now too, and all you really need to do is install an ai assistant on it and you pretty much have something that this thing does, without the price tag or need for an additional data plan. Great video Arun.
That's a great point. In the 150 dollar range I would consider this, in its current form even. At 700 it needs to at least match devices in that range or really excel at something those devices can't do. The benefit of this is convenience, even with a 15 second wait time, I can think of plenty of cases where I would use something like this. (Especially after traveling and wishing I could Google something with one free hand as I'm pulling luggage). But at 700 I'll just wait til my hands are free.
The Humane AI pin's attempt to marry convenience and innovation is commendable. However, the limitations shown, particularly with connectivity, time lag, and limited app integration, are fundamental barriers. At this stage and price point, it doesn't seem like a feasible daily companion yet. I admire the vision though and look forward to seeing its evolution.
ChatGPT?
Why does this even have likes it’s clearly Ai
Is the vision really admirable though? I just don’t see how this could have been a compelling product even if it was the perfect version of itself. It’s just gimmicky nonsense given that one already has a portable device they already carry absolutely everywhere they go and can do much more and provide far more personalized and fine grained experiences. All this hoopla simply to avoid whipping out your phone from your pocket?
There really is zero vision in here, is just following the intrusive thoughts into the path of "what if? Physical chat gpt?"
Don't understand how people could relate convenience to voice control and limited app support. Not to mention you need to bring your hand in front of a laser projector.
