Bee: A $50 AI Wearable That's Both Helpful and Creepy

Bee, a $50 AI wearable, promises to summarize your life, acting as an AI memory. It listens to conversations, integrates with your calendar and emails, and generates daily summaries and to-dos. However, a month-long test revealed accuracy and privacy concerns. It frequently misidentifies speakers, misinterprets context, and even fabricates facts. While developers assure privacy, the device's recording of private conversations and personal emotions is unsettling. Ultimately, the user resorted to manually muting the device to prevent excessive recording of private life.
