In a valiant effort to advertise Meta’s new Sensible Glasses Assortment with Ray-Ban, Mark Zuckerberg has completed the unthinkable: He has discovered to braid his daughter’s hair with the assistance of AI.
In a clip posted to Instagram, Zuckerberg movies the again of his daughter’s head utilizing the video recording function embedded inside the good glasses he is sporting. He says “Hey Meta, how do you make a braid?” and slightly voice walks him by means of three steps: brush the hair, separate it into three components, cross the appropriate part over the center, then the left, and proceed.
He ties the tip of the braid with such problem that it is clear he is by no means completed his ladies’ hair earlier than (Zuckerberg has three daughters). As a last step, he asks the glasses to take a photograph of his handiwork and ship it to Priscilla, his spouse, who’s presumably busy co-running the couple’s charitable group, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
If the video is meant to point out customers how Meta’s Sensible Glasses can be utilized of their on a regular basis lives, it does not fairly succeed. Meta AI does not seem any extra helpful or handy than current digital assistants like Siri and Alexa.
And the image Zuckerberg despatched to his spouse may have simply been taken with a cellphone and despatched by way of textual content message in just some extra seconds, with out the hand-free assist of the glasses.
A more practical instance of the Sensible Glasses’ distinctive attraction may appear to be this: Zuckerberg is baking within the kitchen as his toddler daughter naps close by. He avoids calling out to Alexa or Siri by quietly asking Meta AI for assist with ingredient measurement. Success! The child remains to be asleep.
As he hand-scoops sticky cookie dough onto a baking sheet, Zuckerberg asks his Sensible Glasses to take a photograph of the dollops and ship it to Priscilla with the message, “Are these the appropriate dimension?” Whereas the cookies bake within the oven, Zuckerberg asks the glasses to play music from Spotify. The glasses’ open design permits him to hearken to music with out waking the newborn, or lacking her hungry cries when she wakes up.
In a demo like that, the glasses might sound type of cool and helpful. However Zuckerberg’s video makes them look like a gadget your dad orders off Amazon to play with in his retirement. A really #girldad transfer, when you ask us.
