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

    I can tell you, I’m a software developer and there’s currently maybe one product in my workflow that involves ai, and I’m not even sure about that one. Sure, that might change in the future, but not on my phone. Why would it?

    AI is not magic. It has its uses, but the current iterations offer nothing even remotely relevant for the average user to have on their phone.

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

        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.

      And it won’t need to exist locally on the phone anyway. Higher bandwidth cell and wifi signals mean more and more exotic AI processing can be offloaded onto cloud resources.

      It’s great when you have an app that works well when not connected to a network, of course. But most phone buyers don’t really care.
