Google issues AI warning for smartphone users

 

 

The rollercoaster AI smartphone ride is now well underway. It was always going to be the case, that integrating generative AI into the smartphone apps we use most would eclipse last year’s ChatGPT take-up. And here we now are.

It's easy to get a 'clean' looking home screen like that. Go into settings/app to see what is actually installed.

Oh doubting Thomas.

As  I said.

No third party apps - just the ones from Samsung/AIS that I cannot uninstall.

And still no WIFI .

🤣🤣 did you not understand, "updates this year will be dominated by AI—much of it from Google." 🤣🤣 What does your turning off WiFi do to stop AI apps running? Do you think Samsung doesn't use AI embedded in Apps?

Oh dear. 🤪

How will Samsung update my phone with the wifi turned off?

Samsung have been trying to download updates ever since I bought it.

Not been successful yet.

The phone is quite old now but I can still make calls, send SMS's and take photos.

That is all I need.

Oh - and an alarm for 'beer o'clock' with friends

Unfortunately I think that horse has well and truly bolted for most..............

The last paragraph highlights it

Quote

We can’t have it both ways. Either we value our privacy and the huge strides made in recent years on private browsing, tracking and location sharing. Or AI integrated into mainstream apps is just too cool to live without, and we will use it for everything.

If it’s the latter, then this may become the ultimate “be careful what you wish for.”

Thanks for bringing that article to people's attention 

 

Microsoft trying to ram AI in the form of Copilot or whatever it is called into Windows with updates. If I cannot get rid of it I will definitely be switching over to Linux.

He uses his phone for basic phone functions and feels he does not need all the other functionality. I understand where he is coming from but yes it won't work for everybody.
