A: Did you hear about the news? Apple might be making a new gadget!
B: No, what happened? Tell me!
A: Apparently, they’re working on a little AI pin you can wear on your clothes!
B: Wow, a pin? What does it do?
A: It has cameras and microphones! They say it’ll be about the size of an AirTag.
B: Seriously? Sounds pretty cool. Is Apple the only one doing this?
A: Not really! OpenAI is planning to release some AI earbuds soon too.
B: Oh, really? So there's a lot of AI stuff coming out?
A: Yeah! Some people think Apple is rushing to get their pin out to compete with OpenAI. They might even release it next year!
B: Next year? That’s fast! But... I remember that other company, Humane, they made a similar pin, right?
A: Exactly! It didn't go so well for them. They had to close down.
B: Oh no! So, people might not even *want* a tiny AI pin?
A: That’s what they’re wondering! It’s still to be seen, I guess.
