OpenAI keeps giving hints on its Jony Ive-designed mystery device. I'm still not excited.
"Trust me when I say that I am absolutely thrilled by the chance to blow some money on a new gadget. I really am. I love a gizmo, a device, a widget, or a doohickey. When I see some new electronic thingamabob that might make my life easier or more enjoyable, I want it. And yet, I am really scratching my head about why I would want or need the new device that OpenAI is working on - whatever it is."
"We don't know much about this mysterious piece of hardware - not exactly what it will do, what it will look like, or what new things it's capable of. Legendary former Apple designer Jony Ive is working on it, which is, of course, intriguing. Earlier this year, my colleague Alistair Barr rounded up a bunch of predictions about what the device might look like or do, and the ideas ranged from an iPod Shuffle-sized device to some sort of "companion" wearable."
OpenAI is collaborating with designer Jony Ive on an undisclosed AI hardware device with expected readiness in about two years and an unusual 'lick' test requirement. The device's form, functions, and capabilities remain unspecified, prompting speculation ranging from a tiny iPod Shuffle–sized gadget to a wearable companion or an audio assistant. Many consumers question the necessity of another device given smartphones' broad utility. Existing products such as AI Pin and small AI-powered speakers illustrate potential features but also limited consumer excitement. Secrecy and sparse company comment increase uncertainty and reduce immediate purchase enthusiasm.
