Humane\u2019s universally derided AI Pin<\/a> is not exactly flying off of store shelves, according to internal sales documents published by The Verge<\/em><\/a>. As a matter of fact, returns seem to be currently outpacing new purchases. So many have been returned, that there are only around 7,000 units out in the wild. The company had once hoped to sell 100,000 in the first year, so that ain\u2019t happening.<\/p>\n To date, around 10,000 have been sold and 3,000 have been returned, leaving the aforementioned 7,000 in the hands of consumers. This gadget costs $700, so I\u2019d obviously have returned it after learning it doesn\u2019t actually do anything useful. Wouldn\u2019t you? To that end, over 1,000 pre-orders were canceled once reviews started coming in.<\/p>\n We called it the \u201csolution to none of technology’s problems\u201d and struggled to understand who it was even for. This was before the charging case accessory became a potential fire hazard<\/a>, which added to the image of the product being the ultimate example of tech hubris. There\u2019s a reason, after all, why noted tech vlogger Marques Brownlee called it \u201cthe worst product\u201d he had ever reviewed.<\/p>\n
