I’ve been hearing a lot about AI in mobile phones lately, and I’m kind of confused about how it’s different from the usual smart features that Android phones already have. Like, I know Android has stuff like Google Assistant, face unlock, and all those smart options, but then there’s this “AI” term being thrown around everywhere. What’s the actual difference? Is it just a fancy name for features we’ve been using, or does it really add something new? I’m not super tech savvy, so if you guys could explain it in simple terms or share your thoughts, that’d be great. Maybe even some examples of AI in phones?

    I think the rabbit ai device or the humane pin have the right idea or at least the essence of the right idea but they failed spectacularly because ai has not yet matured enough to be reliable and consistent which in this case is a matter of data collection and time before it happens due to ai models fundamentally acting like storage banks of thinky ability.

    We do in fact want devices that do the boring things for us with minimal effort so that we may do actually important things whatever that may be, this will always be a rolling window based on technological capability of what technology allows us to do, so far it has allowed us to have global communication automated in various ways but not fully and I think the next phase of that is these models being able to do things involving complex thought that you can’t simply just push a button or two for.

    A device that does this fundamentally and reliably will be a game changer for getting all the simple boring tasks done.
