CUPERTINO, CA — A quiet dinner party turned into a crisis management scene last night when local tech enthusiast Brad Miller frantically tried to smother his chest with a linen napkin. The incident occurred after Miller’s new Apple AI Pin interrupted his story about a fishing trip to clarify that the fish was actually three pounds, not ten.
“We call this feature ‘Radical Accuracy,'” said Greg Joswiak-Smith, VP of Human Output. “The thin aluminum housing holds cameras that saw the fish photo on his phone earlier. The AI simply fixed the data error in his speech. It makes conversation much faster by removing all the personality.”
“It is about accountability,” explained Sarah Jones, Director of Tattling. “If you tell your spouse you are five minutes away, the pin projects a map on your shirt showing you are actually still at the bar.” She paused to slap her own pin, which had begun whispering that her smile was only 12% genuine.
At press time, Miller tried to mute the device with a piece of sourdough bread, but the pin loudly announced he was lying about leaving a big tip.
