The new Meta glasses still miss a basic AI test
In one hands-on WIRED review, Meta’s glasses handled noise on calls well. But the built-in AI helper failed to name the glasses’ own features, even with model details and an image. A small camera may be hard for others to spot. A tougher recording light alone does not give bystanders a say.
What the source reports
In a hands-on WIRED review, Boone Ashworth found that the new Meta glasses handled background noise on calls well. The current AI helper failed a simpler task: it could not identify the glasses’ own features, even with model details and a product image. The reviewer also notes that the small camera may be hard for others to notice. A recording light that is harder to tamper with does not let bystanders challenge a recording. This is one person’s review, not a broad test of the product. A planned Muse feature was not tested on these glasses.
