@DavidRedmond@mastodon.ie @DavidGoldfield@allovertheplace.ca I'm willing to admit that perhaps user error was a factor on at least a couple of occasions, but I had a few too many instances where the Metas gave me wrong info. I know AI is prone to hallucinations, but in addition to being inaccurate a lot of the time, the Meta glasses were pretty much the only AI I've ever encountered that more or less constantly gave me what I can only describe as a snippy attitude. A lot of times, I'd ask for labels on packages to be read, and it more or less said for me to read it myself. My apartment complex had to replace my thermostat about a month ago. I asked the glasses to describe the new thermostat and was told that it was set to heat, which, given that we were in the middle of a heat wave, I figured was highly unlikely. Thankfully, Maintanance was able to stop by and teach me everything I needed to know about the new thermostat, and it was not set to heat. One time, I was trying to use the glasses to search for my misplaced roomba. They never found it, and their advice was less than helpful. Seconds after giving up on using the glasses to help, I almost tripped over the renegade Roomba. The final straw, though, was when I tried to use the Meta glasses to help me consolidate some bottles of vitamins. I havelight and color perception, and had two bottles which I was almost definite were the same. I decided to ask the glasses just to be sure. When I first held up the 2 bottles, I was told they were different. I was still a bit skeptical, so held each bottle up individually. The text sure sounded similar, which confirmed to me that they were the same. I pointed that out to the glasses and was told that they couldn't continue the conversation. I factory reset them about five minutes after that interaction.
