GPT-4o and Gemini are already killing gadgets like the Humane Ai Pin and Rabbit r1

When Humane announced the Ai Pin last year, it seemed like the company was "fixing" a problem we didn't have. The wearable device is essentially a phone without a screen, focusing entirely on AI with voice input at the center. A few months later came the Rabbit r1, which brought a new type of AI behavior: The r1 can use some phone apps on your behalf.

These gadgets made it seem like we were about to be flooded with AI products in the coming years, including the "iPhone of AI" that Jony Ive and Sam Altman might be working on.
