Meta Ray-Bain Live AI Hands-on: A solution in search of a problem

This is the scene: I am wearing the latest ray-ban glasses of the meta New facility called live AIWhich can answer questions about the world around you. I am preparing for a four -hour road trip to go to my in -laws for Christmas holidays. I am already planning the next day breakfast because I am 99.9 percent sure that I will not have any brain cells to make edgy of edible at 5 in the morning. I do not even know whether I have anything to cook or not withI open the fridge door and say, “Hey Meta, Live Live AI.” Suddenly, John Cena's voice is in my ear Telling me that a live AI session has started.

“Which breakfast can I make from the content in my fridge?” i ask.

There is a tragic scene inside which a month old thanksgiving food, a carton of eggs, soda, spices, a tub of Greek curd and a large jug of maple syrup. Meta-EI-az-zone-chest answers that I can make “a variety of breakfast dishes”, such as “fried eggs, omelets, or yogurt parafits.”

To say clearly, there is not a single fresh fruit to make a Parfate. Egg cartons have two eggs. My husband put an empty carton of milk back in the fridge, which means that the fried eggs and omelets are also over. My stomach is getting thunderous, I miss that I had left lunch. I believe in the idea of ​​breakfast and instead open the door of the freezer and ask what kind of dinner I can make with the material inside. It is mostly a bunch of frozen pizza, classification of frozen vegetables and hamburger buns. I have been told, “Frozen food, fries and caisrol.”

I decided to order dinner. This will be a drive-through breakfast on the road.

This is the problem with Live AI. Often, I don't know when to use it. When I do this, the answers I get are very clear to be helpful.

The pitch for live AI is that it allows you to talk to an AI assistant in the same way as you do to a friend. While it is similar to the work of glasses' Multimodal AI FacilityYou do not have to indicate AI constantly. It (believed) knows when you are talking to it. You can also add many questions and follow -up questions simultaneously. If you are in the cooking orbit and see something wrong, you will inform the trainer and they will see the mess in your pan and tell you what you have done wrong and how to fix it. It is considered to be a version of the same way but with a formless AI that lives in your glasses. It sees what you see and can help you in real time.

This is a great concept. But when the time came to use live AI without railing, I was shocked. Whenever a question comes to my mind, I automatically reach my phone. I have been trained to do the same for more than 10 years. The first and biggest obstacle in using live AI was to remember that it was an option.

The second problem was to know when the live AI could be More Useful compared to quick Google Search. Meta suggested that I try fashion and cooking scenarios. I have already told you how my cooking questions used to go. Therefore, I asked AI what color combinations I should try with a set of multicolored pastel press-on nails.

AI suggested that “a combination of pastel colors” “would complement pink nails well.” I asked which books I should read on my shelf. AI reminded me that “there are no personal priorities or opinions in it” but I should read a book that is interested ” [me] Or one [I’ve] I wanted to read for some time. ”I was dissatisfied which of these books is most acclaimed. This suggested that I see it online. I tried some more scenarios and surprised: Why would I ever talk to AI if he only repeats clear things and tells me things to Google himself?

My most useful experience with Live AI was when I asked him how to start my home office. First of all, I got another milktost answer – add artwork, plant and rearrange the furniture to create a more comfortable atmosphere. I got upset and asked him? Type The artwork will look good. Then, it told me that “different types of artworks” can look good based on this. [my] Personal style. “Did I consider adding such posters, prints or paintings that reflect my interests or hobbies? I wanted to shout, but instead, I asked which style of the poster would look good based on it. currently In the room. At this, I got my first somewhat useful answer: a colorful and playful poster with a fun design or beautiful character that would complement stuffed animals in the room. I asked the artists to look into it. This suggested Lisa Kangdon, Camily Rose Garcia and Jane Korace for their “playful and desired styles”.

And here is my biggest problem with AI: you have to know How to ask the correct question To get the answer you want.

I could save myself from some sorrow if I had told Meta AI, “I want to hang artworks in my room. Based on what is currently here, which artists should I pay attention to? ” This skill comes naturally in some people. My spouse specializes in motivating AI. But for the rest of us, this is a skill that will have to learn – and now some people are teaching us AI novice how to rebuild our brain to use this technique the best.

After seeing the artists suggested by Meta AI on Google, I stood in the first place. I liked their art, but none of them felt like this My Style. I told this experience to my best friend, who rotated his eyes and immediately sent me three artists on Instagram. I all loved them very much. He said in a rebuked voice that I should only ask him and do not care about the bot. Because, unlike Meta AI, she said, she really knows me.

Live AI also have issues other than philosophical issues. When you are talking to him and another person in the room, it is difficult to differentiate. At one point, it lied directly and said that it has seen me feeding my cat while I did not do so. (It was confused by my spouse saying that they had fed food to kit children.) This works only in a 30 -minute window before the battery is over. This means that you have to use it intentionally – when there are some clear use cases, it is difficult to do so.

I am not against Live AI. The comprehensive approach is that we all be like Tony Stark, wear good glasses with your small jarvis. When you are being controlled through controlled demo, that future seems unavoidable And Magical The just thing is that when you are left to investigate yourself, the imagination starts to break. And once this happens, nine out of 10, you will reach your phone.
