Lorde says Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses are ‘not sexy’

A musician performed at a festival and publicly criticized AI smartglasses during her set, telling the audience not to purchase them and calling them unattractive. The comments were directed at a pair of AI smartglasses created through a collaboration between two major tech companies, though the musician did not name them explicitly. The criticism is notable because one of the companies behind the glasses faces renewed scrutiny over the product, and the festival itself was sponsored by the glasses manufacturer. The moment gained attention because another performer who followed the musician on stage is an ambassador for the same smartglasses product.
