    My problem is that it’s not that fucking useful. I got the Pixel 9 specifically because of its advertised AI chip for the assistant and I swear it’s just gotten worse since the Pixel 7. I used to be able to ask Google anything through the assistant, and now 90% of my questions are answered with “can’t find the information.”

    They also advertised (or at least heavily alluded to) the use of the AI chip when you are in low network areas but it works just as good outside of 4g+ coverage as it ever did without the stupid chip.

    Whats the point of adding AI branded nonsense if there’s no practical use for it. And that doesn’t even start to cover the issues with AI’s reliability as a source of information. Garbage in = garbage out.

      When Gemini can find the information, they added flowery “social” bullshit before, in the middle and after the information I asked for wasting my time

      i dint get a pixel for that reason after PIxel 5a died, the exonys chip is significantly weaker than other flagship phones, and they sacrificed thier battery power/efficiency capacity since 5A(which was a very defective phone) just to prop up AI.

      We know google was saving money on not using QUALCOMM/snapdragon chips, which most others are using. AI is just thier excuse so they can put less effort into making quality product.
