I use AI all the time. The ability to select text and images from a screenshot or the app switcher is pretty useful for when apps refuse to implement selection themselves. My keyboard also allows me to type much faster than when I try to be as precise as I need to be with unassisted keyboards. Plus, photos captured without image enhancement look terrible (and nothing like what you’re seeing in real life). Firefox translate has also finally hit Android and it’s been pretty good so far. Google Translate has worked offline for a while as well but it’s not as good as normal Google translate I believe.
I don’t use text generation much (although I do use it accidentally now that it’s replaced Assistant) and the photo editing tools are mostly gimmicks to me, though I can see their actual use.
If Google can give me all of this existing stuff while using less battery life because of the NPU, it’d be pretty happy.
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
That’s true, but I don’t see that as a problem to be honest. You can’t trust AI to always do the right thing, but it can be useful if the mistakes it does make are easy to spot and correct.
I do want the AI stuff to run locally, though, I don’t trust the AI companies nor the law enforcement agencies that are probably intercepting every bit of data that gets sent to the cloud.

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.
