      Selecting text from images has nothing to do with AI and predates the AI hype craze.

        Err… That’s definitively AI.

        AI is just any computer algorithm that does a task that would be aimed to require human intelligence.

        Identifying text in an image is a non-trivial task, so OCR is a type of AI algorithm.

        That said, I assume “AI phones” are probably not using the term AI in the general sense; presumably they just mean that it uses MM-LLMs somehow.

          Wrong. People like you are exactly what is wrong with the overhype in IT

            Just FYI, I’m pretty sure you’re confusing “AI” and “AGI”.

            Even enemy behavior is videogames is “AI”, but obviously is not “General Intelligence”.

            I think the problem is Hollywood confusing the two terms, so people think AI = Skynet, but that’s not the technical definition in Computer Science.

      I do use text generation whenever I’m doing a simple small bit of coding on hobby projects and want to write a function without navigating pages of stackoverflow for the right syntax. Although even then, I rarely actually am able to use the function without some form of slight adjustments
