Lorde was performing at the Real Cool Festival in Madrid on Thursday and took some time during her set to speak out against AI glasses<\/a>. While she didn\u2019t specify any brands in particular, it\u2019s likely she was taking a shot at festival sponsor Ray-Ban, which has collaborated with Meta on a pair of AI smartglasses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The comments were captured in videos<\/a> shared to social media. After thanking the crowd for being there and taking part in \u201csomething real,\u201d she said that it was increasingly hard to know is and isn\u2019t real, before saying \u201cYou don\u2019t know if someone is wearing sunglasses or if they\u2019re wearing those fucked up fucking\u2026 Can I just say, for the record, fuck the glasses. Don\u2019t get the glasses. Not sexy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The comments come as Meta faces renewed<\/a> scrutiny<\/a> over its smart glasses. And, even in the face of that backlash<\/a>, it is still reportedly planning to launch a pair of \u201csuper sensing<\/a>\u201d glasses that are continuously recording.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to Stereogum<\/em>, Lorde was followed on stage by Blackpink\u2019s Jennie, who is a Ray-Ban Meta AI ambassador and has been featured in advertising campaigns on Instagram<\/a> and in a video screened between sets at Real Cool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
