      Guys… these phones aren’t for people like us anymore. The days of computers being just for techies who like to tinker are over because the market for “normal” people is so much larger, and the causal user just wants to text some people and watch some videos. They neither want nor need the things that we consider fundamental, so don’t get frustrated that the shiny stuff now isn’t aimed at us.

          It’s a fair point, and I used to read a lot of articles that made me say “fuck off”, but eventually I realised it was happening regardless of my grumbles so I may as well not let them stress me out!

    The title is misleading. In nowhere the article say the Settings app will be removed, but an AI that will tweak system settimg based on usage patterns.

    I guess it like: I have my brightness set at zero at 22:00, but sometimes I’m still using my phone and it dim suddenly which is a bit frustrating. This AI will learn that not to turn down the brightness when I’m using it, and wait until some other events happened then trigger the dimming. (Auto brightness doesn’t goes all the way down that Tasker can do.)

      They have(had?) a setting that prevents screen dimming when you are looking at the screen.

      There is no value in AI being used as you describe, typical user habit learning that has been a thing for years can do that. Using AI because you can use AI is not valuable to users.
