So I know what to look for in the future for people to avoid, the glasses apparently look like this:

    And putting Ray Ban on the "never buy a fucking thing from" list.

    You should go up the chain and put the parent company of the parent company and all the related properties there

    Ray Ban's parent company is going to have AI glasses from all of the companies they own. I was boycotting Ray Ban up until I learned that it's really fucking difficult to find prescription sunglasses big enough for my giant head that can accommodate my very strong prescription and Ray Ban had the only pair that I could find.

    You're missing the details:

    Regular wayfarer on the left has the small oval (sometimes chrome) accent. AI wayfarer on the right as the round black camera lenses.

    You're going up close to every person you see with wayfarers to check the corner for a small oval? The details are too small to matter from a distance.That's what I'm trying to say.

    There will likely be other models or brands where you can't even rely on the distinction you're trying to make here.

    It's looking bleak.

    No. If I'm walking up to someone intending to interact with them, that is close enough to see the lenses. Upon identifying those, I will elect instead to not interact with that person and keep on walking by.
