Asking as it seems nobody wants one based on the reception of the Pixel 9

No, i use a custom rom for most of my phones, so the ai bs is worthless to me. I’d rather just but a 6 or 7 for a cheaper price than an 8 or 9 for a higher price without any significant hardware upgrades.
Hell no.
Why can’t they use AI for something useful like better commands when using hands free while driving. They have all these gimmicks yet it cannot play a specific music playlist on spotify on shuffle without a very specific word for word command
I want a phone that doesn’t blast telemetry everywhere eating my battery. I want a phone that lasts a week between charges. I also want (most) apps to go away and stick to the web so my browser can keep me safe from them.
My favorite e-commerce experience has been at breweries and comedy clubs. Scan QR code, order on web page. Receive SMS to get back to page. Pay on page when done, close tab. Our exchange of information has completed. Maybe they send an email later, maybe not.
Versus apps tracking the status of your colon 24/7.
Not now. Maybe it’ll be useful once the bubble bursts and a few actually decent uses for something that could actually run on a phone emerge from the rubble and actually work.
At the moment I’m not seeing a whole lot overall that actually works unless you’re an expert using it for science or something like that.
On-device stuff? Sure I’ll take it. But not ones that connect online.
Was curious so searched it, looks like the two big AI features are AI image editing and Google Gemini, both of which are apps look available on other devices. They can always be disabled, but Pixels are great for GeapheneOS anyways.
An AI asics chip for more efficient local software might have been cool but doesn’t looks like it comes with one.
i just want a phone that constantly spies on me and sends recordings back to mama cloud….
Not rlly but it might be useful I have this samsung a55 and they didn’t put any galaxy ai stuff on it
Very little of it runs local. Basically language translation.
Yeah it’s reserved for their flagships
No, none of them have a lot of local compute, not enough ram or cpu.
Oh
Not if I have to give up my privacy to use the AI features, which is currently the case for all or these devices.
Investors/Shareholders. They cum each time they hear the word AI
Except for the people who know what they are doing. As it turns out a lot of actual business people looked at the insane amount of money going into AI and realized it would take a huge return plus potentially decades to break even.
You don’t need to understand “AI” to see that pouring billions into something that doesn’t have a business model could be a bad bet.
I for one would like a local AI assistant of some sort, but I’d also want to be in full control of which of my files, correspondences, locations, contacts, purchases and sex-toys the assistant is aware of on an item to item basis.
Of course that’s not going to happen because fuck my privacy.
Instead we’re going to be forcefed something extremely privacy-invasive, which will really just be a new vehicle for selling stuff to us that we don’t need and eventually it will leak all of the data.
you can.make a local ai homeserver and access it remotely from your phone.mahbe even tie it to some automation features idk
Your average smartphone user definitely can’t. I mght, but I strongly doubt it is worth the effort for now.
I will do it some time just for the coolness factor
Came here to say this. If I had an AI buddy that could do all sorts of stuff for me and talk about history all day with me on long drives while making sure I was perfectly safe and secure and basically be my best artificial friend…
I’d be riding that train.
sex-toys
obviously any ai girlfriend should have full control of all of the sextoys
I don’t want an AI phone specifically, but its inclusion is not a deal breaker. I’m in it for the Foldy phones, even though they’re changing the screen sizes compared to the 0G fold, it’s still leagues better than Samshits Foldy offering and those are my only options here in the states
The demos of the Gemini AI seem somewhat useful, but only if it actually works right most of the time
Nope. It’s getting to the point I don’t even want a smartphone anymore. In fact, I just bought a “dumb” phone and am going to try using that as my daily driver for a month and see how it goes. Should be delivered this afternoon, and I’ll be starting the experiment tomorrow, hopefully.
