    Yeah, and how much do you want that on your phone? And how many people do you think want/need that on their phones?

    This is a completely different question then the one I responded to.

    AI is not magic

    Not sure why you threw that out there, i never said it was. I am very familiar with what it is and am not mystified by it lol

    but the current iterations offer nothing even remotely relevant for the average user to have on their phone.

    “But the current iteration” is the operative statement here, and I have a feeling you have an overinflated sense of how dominant your mentality is.

    Sure, that might change in the future, but not on my phone. Why would it?

    This is just a lack of imagination, to be blunt. Just because you haven’t teased out uses doesn’t mean there are none.

    As for your having little need of AI, the developers I work along with regularly use ChatGPT-like systems. Maybe you should consider how it could lessen your workload. Just my 2 cents.

      What do you think a “Pixel 8” is exactly? A phone maybe?

      But the current iteration" is the operative statement here, and I have a feeling you have an overinflated sense of how dominant your mentality is.

      It’s not “mentality”, it’s actually roughly knowing the field and not just throwing words around. LLMs for example are the current iteration. Not chatgpt version XY. And LLMs already kind of hit a wall, there’s not much progress expected in the next time. Stable Diffusion and others are also rather stable and won’t turn out massive improvements any time soon. We’re at the rapidly diminishing returns phase here.

      But now the actual kicker: give me a single “killer feature” for ai that normal people would actually have run on their phone and be willing to spend money on. Siri is nice and all, but it’s already running locally, there’s no need for a new phone. Photo editing, yeah, nice, but do you buy a phone because of it?

      Again, I’m not saying that ai is “bad”, but I see no reason for the hype in the mobile space, especially in the “you need new hardware for that” sense.

        People often pick their phones largely on the camera quality, so I have no reason to doubt many would consider this in their purchase decision, yes.

          Consider it, but not buying a new phone because of it.

          Do you think, someone would pay an extra 50€ just for slightly better editing capabilities all else being equal?

            People pay hundreds more for better/more cameras so yes. I also imagine it the AI integration would not be so singular as just photo editing.

            Photo/video capture is one of the single largest uses of smart phones. People spend a LOT of time editing their images too.
