Do you want anything "AI" (Artificial Intelligence) in your (future) phone/mobile device?

My personal choice is: "Nooop"

And I really, really hope will leave this out 🙏 An "AI iPhone" is really not an option no

At that point it's back to the Nokia 3210 😀

@writeblankspace That's a better option indeed, unfort my guess is that those options will be added later or never

@meka Well, i still always chose for the "manual" method if possible

I don't like AI generating stuff without my exact input or how i want it, otherwise i have to redo it anyways flan_laugh

Data is a big no no 😇

@stux I do want to have software based on neural networks, such as voice synthesis, voice recognition, image recognition, and so on.

It's just that branding any of software mentioned above as an "AI" doesn't make it better in any way, and forcing to use it instead of something that is a lot more reliable is definitely not what I want.

@stux Exactly - who the hell wants a four year old taking over their phone.
That said AI will wreak havoc in the workplace. Social welfare states like the Nordic countries will cope. The Unregulated Free for All countries will flounder. The opioid crisis is going to look tame by comparison.

@stux AI is a useful tool but I don’t want a dumb but useful tool trying to manage my life.

@stux I have mixed feelings. On one hand, it would REALLY improve Siri. On the other hand, practically all AI at the moment is problematic, and there's no reason why Apple's attempt would be any different.

@stux Tbh it depends on what kind of AI.
A small local LLM as a smarter auto correct? Yes please!
Image desctiption through AI as an assistive technologie? Great idea!
An AI "Assistant" to "speak" to or to generate images for me? No.
I especially don't want a fucking dedicated button for that

@stux there's tons of different kinds of AI, so it really depends. Like AI to play chess against? Yes please. AI for portrait mode photos? I like it. AI to replace my search engine? Absolutely not. There's a lot of AI already present on people's phones that they don't really think about that is genuinely useful and not harmful. It just depends on what kind of AI you're talking about and how it's being used.

@stux I like the idea of a dumb phone, and I spent a good amount to time thinking about buying a Nokia 800 (the TOUGH one).

My problem is that 4G on my home network is getting less reliable every day, as 5G takes over some of the available spectrum. And none of the feature phones have 5G chipsets (yet).

I’d also like it to be FOSS, of course, but my iPhone isn’t, so I’m not going backwards.
