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

TL;DR

While she didn't specify any brands in particular, it's likely she was taking a shot at festival sponsor Ray-Ban, which has collaborated with Meta on a pair of AI smartglasses. The comments were captured in videos shared to social media.

Nauti's Take

For teams testing AI wearables, this is mainly an acceptance problem, not a feature problem. Verify first whether the camera, recording signals, and privacy model hold up in real social settings before spending time on integrations.

So far the claim rests mostly on social clips and one report, so the exact framing still deserves caution.
