Credit: MetaDuring the first public demonstration of its new Ray-Ban Meta "Display" smart glasses, Meta and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, suffered a series of embarrassing issues in which the AI failed to respond at all, or responded in bizarre fashion.
It completely torpedoed the event and made the AI look unready and underdeveloped—even if the glasses themselves seem quite impressive.
"When the chef said, 'Hey Meta, start Live AI,' it started every single Meta Ray-Ban's Live AI in the building," explained Meta CTO, Andrew Bosworth (via TheVerge).
"We had routed Live AI traffic to our dev server, in theory, to isolate it, but we had done it for everyone in that building on those access points.
What Bosworth struggled to explain, though, was why the AI couldn't place a WhatsApp call when Zuckerberg asked it to.
