With the integration of Wearable AI Technologies into community interventions a reflection has started on the potential of these tools to innovate and simplify qualitative participatory research practices. This paper presents an investigation of the use of artificial intelligence PLAUD within the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) as a device for capturing interactions within graphomaniac communities. Specifically, the study involved 42 participants during meetings of Parole Notturne, a Palermo-based collective dedicated to promoting Community Reading and Writing. The primary objective is to critically evaluate the added value of wearable AI technologies, considering the prospect of kurzweilian technological singularity.
