The snippet mentions "unexpected success of Meta's Ray-Ban glasses was catching on." This is a real trend in 2024. The snippet says "In 2025...". I'll treat the provided text as the ground truth for the current state of the world (Dec 2025).

I'll search for context on "AI wearables 2024 2025 trends" to flesh out the "competitors" and "hype" mentioned.

Plan:

1. Search for context on AI wearables and smart glasses trends (Meta Ray-Ban, Humane, Rabbit, Solos, etc.) to mention specific products.
2. Adopt the persona: Gimmie AI journalist.
3. Structure the article:
   • Hook: The shift from fitness to AI assistant on your face.
   • Section 1: The "Smart Glasses" Renaissance (Meta Ray-Ban success).
   • Section 2: Audio vs. Screens (The invisible tech).
   • Section 3: The Skeptic's Corner (Privacy, battery, looking weird).
   • Section 4: Buying Advice for Holiday 2025 (Who is this for?).
   • Conclusion: Final verdict.
4. Adhere to formatting: Headers, bold text, no HTML tags.

Let's search.
