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

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
AI Phones or AI laptops are IMO a pure marketing invention.
Qualcomm laptops has some intriguing locally computed functions
So what? Every laptop has a gpu do you call them gpu laptops? Modern CPUs/SOCs accelerate a lot of things, this is just one more.
Nvidia called the ray tracing gpus RTX. Now all of them has that chip, all of them are called RTX. Same will happen here, in 5 years every cpu will be “AI” and no one will call it that way
True, they have some interesting features. But at least if they use Windows ML, these apps can run on any hardware. The only difference is the performance that can be achieved.
They said something in the video you linked that the developers could use a larger model thanks to the performance of the Snapdragon Chip. And with Davinci, they said that the performance with NPU is better than with GPU.
What I’m trying to say is that these things are not a new invention of 2024. NPUs were introduced at least 7 years ago (for ARM CPUs). The Microsoft APIs have been there for three years. The only new thing is the marketing hype around AI.
i just want a phone that constantly spies on me and sends recordings back to mama cloud….
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.
Want it or not, you’re gonna get it. The industry is going balls deep with it and I doubt AI phones are even the tip of the iceberg. They’re gonna use the shit in everything.
The hardware industry wants to sell new devices. Most software companies just upload your data to the cloud and to the AI magic there (e.g. ChatGPT, Bing Image creator).
Hell no.
Part of the problem is the Pixel phone, I mean that’s been a problem ever since it came out. Sometimes it’s alright but there’s a lot of people that have bought a Pixel & regretted it. My brother in law being one of many. I can say with relative confidence, Google Pixel phones have had so many problems & lack of support, I’m sure everybody reading this knows somebody with Google Pixel buyer’s remorse. Or maybe they are that person.
This is a well-earned reputation. So yeah I can believe people aren’t jumping at the P9.
The AI part is just another reason to not buy a Google Pixel phone.
I like my Pixel 8 just fine, but I turned Gemini off the minute Google tried to foist it on me. I am also considering just installing Graphene OS instead, which Pixels are pretty good for.
I want the original Google Now, because it actually worked.
That and Inbox were peak Google.
I held on to Inbox as long as I could, it was simply better.
You could use DDG or a lot of meta search engines :)
Does that work like Google now?
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
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.
sex-toys
obviously any ai girlfriend should have full control of all of the sextoys
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.
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.

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.
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.
It depends on who you’re asking. The AI branding appeals to a lot of the more casual users I know, but it ultimately comes down to the actual functionality being added. It’s the first time in a long time that I’ve been interested in following smartphone developments. What our devices can actually do has for a long time been rather stagnant IMO.
Not if I have to give up my privacy to use the AI features, which is currently the case for all or these devices.
