The real-time translation thing has me interested. As long as by "AI" they mean "less shitty Google Translate app" and not "burning down the planet to give Grok waifu booba", I'm on board.

It would be really cool to have that built into your glasses instead of having to wave a smartphone around.

Yeah, especially if people who already wear glasses can get them with their prescriptions

Speaking of prescriptions, while almost entirely unrelated, I still love that VR headsets can get prescription lenses so you don't have to wear glasses while using them; it was almost a day 1 purchase for me when I realized they exist (I had to visit an eye doctor first to get my eye stats)

Less bad google translate doesn't have to be called "AI" to begin with. I don't know why people keep falling for the hype and now Artificial Intelligence is bastardized word with no meaning.

Clippy was AI in 1997 or whatever, or autocomplete, or that photoshop smart lasso etc. Every garbage can and will be called "AI". I wouldn't mind "features" like this either, but I think its pretty obvious that when the companies and industries buy into and ship products labeled AI they mean exactly the LLM powered garbage with all the downsides we know.

Sorry it's burning down the earth to give EVERYONE booba

I can understand how it would translate audio to your glasses, but how tf would you respond to the other person if you don't speak the same language

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

Pass the glasses between yourselves

Have a set of speakers that translate in real time like star Trek? Idk

I've seen some that have small speakers in them or something? Or i may be imagining that

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

They would have to have them too I guess.
