During her performance at the Real Cool Festival in Madrid, Lorde took a moment to express her disapproval of AI glasses. Although she did not specifically mention any brand, it is likely that her comments were directed at Ray-Ban, which has collaborated with Meta on a pair of AI smartglasses and was a sponsor of the festival. Lorde's criticism of AI glasses centers around their perceived lack of style and sex appeal. According to a report by The Verge AI, Lorde's comments reflect a broader discussion about the aesthetic and practical appeal of AI-powered wearable technology.
