   Looks like we're in for an era of bloatware on phones mostly there for the manufacturers to inflate their stock prices. It will certainly encourage me to hang on to my current phone for longer.

     Sad thing is, I bought the Pixel 8 because I didn't want any bloat...

     I hope this AI shit can be turned off if the roll it out on the Pixel 8.
