Smartphone buyers care more about that thing that they've been begging for, for years? You don't say... And mobile phone manufacturers are again and still going to ignore what people actually want in favor of expensive and non functional vaporware, like they always do?
You don't say!
Welcome to the Luddite convention here.
It's so gimmicky compared to something actually useful, like better battery.
They're pushing AI so hard but most people just see it as a gimmicky thing. The only people who care are the investors.
yeah but you can't set inflate your stock value based on hype about battery life.
people forget that these features aren't for users. it's for idiots who invest in ridiculous shit hoping it to be the next big thing.
Also I want my OS to be an actual OS with root access. I want Linux in particular.
Like you know, you can setup a file share to back up files. You can back up your phone and get a new one easily. If you lost a phone you can bring it back. Your files organized the way you want and not some things here and done things there like the apps want.
"The only thing we bothered changing in the new model is we added a robot that hoovers even more of your data and then lies to you confidently!"
I really hope the AI hype dies off
We are talking about a very particular branch of AI called LLMs or better know as "chat bots". Every other AI is usually very useful and have been in your phone forever.
Prefer no AI, require high battery life
The features customers actually want vs what the shareholders tell them they want.
I still would take an extra mm for more battery life. At this point it's no difference if it's a bit thinner.
Can we please stop calling LLMs artificial intelligence?
If you don't think this counts as AI, can you give us an example of some function or behavior that you would consider AI?
Reasoning, sentience, and the ability, over time, to improve. There’s more, but that’s the top three.
No. Strictly and technically speaking, LLMs absolutely fall under the category of AI. You’re thinking of AGI, which is a subset of AI, and which LLMs will be a necessary but insufficient component of.
I’m an AI Engineer; I’ve taken to, in my circles, calling AI “Algorithmic Intelligence” rather than “Artificial Intelligence.” It’s far more fitting term for what is happening. But until the Yanns and Ngs and Hintons of the field start calling it that, we’re stuck with it.
I like your definition. Algorithmic intelligence fits much better. And thanks for giving me a rabbit hole (AGI) to dive into.
Where intelligence in spitting out samples from big data vaguely related to prompt?
Let's just settle on SI, Schrödiger intelligence.
Approximate Intelligence fits just as well me thinks
I know more humans that fit that description than language models.
I see that
Fuck Siri with ChatGPT. I just want third party app notifications to actually play a sound and vibrate on my watch again. I really hope the next iOS update will fix that. I'm not the only one with this issue currently.
Siri, with a local model so that it can actually figure out what albums want to listen to, is one of the only use cases I have for an LLM
AR needs to kill the smartphone screen soon. Make my phone a keyboard and an external processor for my wearables.
Oh wow shocking, people actually cared more about usability than trashy feature? That's unheard of
How about making a phone that's a whole millimeter thicker just to make the glass thick and strong enough that it won't break if you drop it?
Great idea! Unless of course the replacement of parts and broken phones is a core part of the business model.
There are a few ruggedized phones out there. I bought some cheap Oukitel phones to use as an order pad in restaurant I used to run, because I was fed up with two waitresses dropping and breaking pads. When I sold the business, I kept one. I use it mainly in my boat, as GPS, plotter, speedometer, weather...
The thing drops, gets wet, handled without care.
These phones exist. They are not top performance dogs, but can be quite decent. Why arent they in the front line? Because demand

I like AI and my phone to be separate. Chatgpt is just an app, it shouldn't be a core feature
No! I don't care about battery! I want to become more dependent on advertising companies to arrange my daily life!
2010: We want bigger batteries, they give us colorful phones
2015 We want bigger batteries, they give us 1mm thinner phones
2020 We want bigger batteries, they give us 5 cameras
2025 We want bigger batteries, they give us AI
Phones are a great example of the utter failure of capitalism to address what people actually need and want.
They also keep taking away features, like removable storage (microSD) and headphone jacks. There's a few phones that have them, but it gets more difficult to find them as time goes on.
Create a problem, sell a solution. It's so annoying.
headphone jack -> sell bluetooth headphones
microSD -> sell cloud storage
Create a problem, sell a solution
Under the guise of "innovation"
Late stage capitalism
Sony Xperia flagship has both. I think it's the only Snapdragon 8g3 phone that does.
