That explains why Google wants it, but what do phone owners get? What is being offered of value. I keep hearing all this talk about this wave of AI on phones, but don’t see what it’s providing.
Yeah at present it’s mostly a gimmick feature. The next step will be for it to be integrated to the OS where it can understand what’s going on with your phone and you can ask it, for example, “make my phone secure” and it’ll execute a bunch of steps to accomplish this, or “tell me why this app just crashed” and it’ll review the logs and tell you - or the app developer, what happened. The ultimate goal is to sell you a truly personal ai-personal-assistant. The first company that can truly achieve this will mint gold.
Doesn’t that require all of those things to be developed manually though. It’s not like the LLM can just access your logs. I guess the thought is the LLM can better generalize commands, but seems like a lot of the AI there would actually be hand developed.
Yes, same here. More compute on my phone to me means one thing: battery drain.
Also, with companies getting more and more comfortable with looking at your searches for their “advertising,” what else can they invent with an onboard brain? Nothing we would like I’m afraid. There are no protections for something like that, and you know what companies do when there are no restrictions…
