    According to ET News, the company plans to implement an AI feature on its devices “that can predict what consumers want in advance by improving the performance of ‘touch points’ such as keyboard and camera.”

    Every one of the ‘features’ results in the exact opposite of what I want the thing to do. I have become a grumpy old man yelling “Stop fucking helping!” at hardware and software that tries to be ‘intuitive’.

    Samsung devices already let you change various settings without opening the Settings menu using Bixby. However, this implementation requires users to trigger Bixby and issue a voice command. In contrast, the AI-powered solution could automatically change settings based on usage patterns.

    I want it to be consistent dammit!

      I fully hear you and agree.

      Every 5 days there’s a software update, for something that just changes one or two things slightly - but rarely if ever is it an improvement.

      Oh, you want to do this simple thing you were able to easily do 3 days ago?

      Now you have to change 4 nondescript settings, use 3 separate hotkey commands, watch a YouTube video, and troubleshoot for hours to get a once basic function to preform correctly.

      I’d bet that the AI system will be used exclusively to identify + paywall things you’ll want/need to use your phone.

      seems like you want volume control, based on your history you want 1% volume. Subscribe to" basic functions" package to unlock a volume option. Upgrade to “basic functions premium” for up to 5 volume adjustments a week!

      Still not enough AI control? The “basic functions unlimited” fully unlocks both volume buttons and for a limited time unlocks the spacebar for 5 minutes an hour from midnight to 6am!

      User, I noticed you weren’t sharing telemetry data, location data,and all your photos with Samsung. I corrected that for you and locked the settings…you’re welcome.

      I totally agree with you.

      However there is one smart feature Samsung has that I like. The screen brightness auto adjusts based on the ambient light, but if I change that automatic brightness (I prefer the screen darker) it will remember that and consistently adjust the brightness.

      I’m not sure it’s really an AI feature…

      Take the ambient light level (lux).
      Set brightness to 5.
      Log that the user has made it 1 level or 10% darker.
      Next time it senses the same lux level, set the brightness 1 level lower

        That is just a simple algorithm that uses .000001% processing power. I’m sure they will turn it into an AL feature that takes 2% power and is always slightly off of what I want it to be.
