    There's a big social stigma against this. Every other version of this that has come out has failed due to the combination of expense and stigma. I suspect this is nothing to worry about.

    Very few people are going to pay hundreds of dollars to be socially isolated. Kill the market, kill the device.

    “The AI listens to every conversation you have and uses that knowledge to tell you what to say … kinda like IRL Cluely,” Ardayfio told TechCrunch, referring to the startup that claims to help users “cheat” on everything from job interviews to school exams.

    “If somebody says a complex word or asks you a question, like, ‘What’s 37 to the third power?’ or something like that, then it’ll pop up on the glasses,” Ardayfio added.

    The product sounds like just another shitty AI assistant but on your face. The problem might fix itself when only 5 idiots buy them.
