Lorde Critiques AI Glasses During Performance at Madrid Festival

12 Temmuz 2026The Verge

During her performance at the Real Cool Festival in Madrid, Lorde criticized AI glasses, suggesting they lack appeal. Although she did not name specific brands, her comments are believed to be directed at Ray-Ban, which has partnered with Meta to create smartglasses.
This incident highlights the growing scrutiny and mixed feelings surrounding AI technology in consumer products.
The collaboration between Ray-Ban and Meta represents a significant trend in the tech industry where traditional fashion brands are integrating AI. However, as artists like Lorde voice their opinions, it raises questions about the marketability and desirability of such innovations in everyday life.
Lorde's remarks reflect a broader cultural skepticism towards AI-driven products, particularly those that blend technology with fashion. The notion of 'sexiness' in tech could indicate a disconnect between consumer expectations and the reality of AI implementations.
