Putting “ai” in the name is a terrible decision, almost seems like a last minute decision to make a premature product marketable in the current climate. Coming from the “ex-Apple” team they call themselves, they should have know better and gone with just “pin”.

Huh, you're right. I tried both names in my head and "The Pin" sounds exactly like an apple product (in a good way), while "The AI Pin" sounds weirdly cheap and gimmicky.

I wonder if “pin” was considered too generic though. Humane Pin also has the awkward formatting of a noun phrase. (a pin that is humane, not that it makes sense really)
