"The first phone with AI built in."

LOL Google are dellirious

What about autocomplete? Face detection? Virtual assistants

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

"AI" is a pretty meaningless term. It's impossible to say objectively whether any of the things you mentioned should be considered AI.

[–] sciencesebi@feddit.ro -2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

IEEE defines it as any software whos actions automate a human behavior. All those fall under the definition.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 3 points 11 months ago

That could mean something as simple as arithmetic.

[–] evo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, that might be accurate for what they are talking about. The absolute smallest Generative AI models (that are generally useful) are starting to shrink but are still several GB in size. Doing this on device is actually new.

[–] sciencesebi@feddit.ro 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It says AI not genAI. Anyway, autocomplete is genAI, even though it may be simple glove embeddings and MC.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Do you know how to read?

Gemini Nano now powers on-device generative AI features for Pixel 8 Pro

Technically auto complete can be considered Gen AI, but it obviously lacks the creativity that we all associate with Gen AI today. You don't need a model that is generally useful to do auto complete.

The point is it didn't take a generally useful Gen AI model to do auto complete before but Google is now shipping features (beyond auto complete) that use such a model. Gen AI on device is novel.

[–] sciencesebi@feddit.ro 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

I was talking about the title, not the 10th paragraph way down. Use your reading skills and tell me where the fuck "generative" is in the title.

No. Autocomplete is a feature. The model behind it can be gen AI and was for a number of years. IDGAF if it's not general purpose.

The point it you have no fucking clue what you're defending. LLMs and diffusion models have been in apps for months. You can say that General purpose LLMs embedded into mobile OS functions is novel, the rest of it is bullshit.

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

It's directly in the first paragraph...

[–] evo@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

where the fuck "generative" is in the title

LLMs and diffusion models have been in apps for months.

Show me a single example of an app that has an LLM on device. Find a single one that isn't making an API call to a powerful server running the LLM. Show me the app update that adds a multi gigabyte LLM into the device. I'll wait...

Feel free to not respond when you realize you are wrong and you have no clue what everyone else is talking about.

[–] sciencesebi@feddit.ro -1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Are you familiar with the difference between title and paragraph? Apparently not.

Answered the same question here

Feel free to not respond when you realize you are wrong and you have no clue what I'm talking about.

[–] evo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You didn't list a single production app in that post...

[–] sciencesebi@feddit.ro -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Or does it have to be on the play store or some other BS you use to backpedal?

[–] evo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

[–] butter@midwest.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

AI is broad enough that it does include those features.

But it's probably referring to machine learning.

[–] sciencesebi@feddit.ro 3 points 11 months ago

That's my point. AI includes features that were added years ago. Even ML is too broad. Autocomplete uses small ML models. Spam filters as well.

I think they mean LLMs, and specifically distilled BARDs. So a subset of a subset of a subset of AI.
