AI Is Out Of Control 🤪 | Venus Flytrap + Xmas 🎄| Fired From The Top 🔝

❤️ What We Liked

Remember the movie Her? Did you think the technology Scarlett Johansson was the voice for was a bit far-fetched? 😈

Well, now it’s real! The San Francisco startup Humane has launched the AI Pin, a wearable AI device that attaches to clothing, providing a direct route to AI experiences. The device features a built-in microphone for user interaction, can sift through webmail inboxes, and acts as an interpreter in foreign locations. 🗣️

The craziest part about this device instead of a screen, it projects the interface onto your palm. Madness. Watch out Apple! Check out this TikTok to see the founders introduce the product. 🍎

📌 What We Saved

Every year John Lewis releases its highly anticipated Christmas ad. The 2023 Campaign has just been unveiled, captivating audiences with its unique and enchanting blend of creativity. 🎨

The ad was made by Saatchi & Saatchi and stars a carnivorous plant accompanied by an operatic tune. We would have loved to have been in the room for this brainstorm. 🧠

The creative twist reinforces John Lewis's reputation for memorable campaigns. What are your thoughts on this imaginative approach? 💭
