   Surveys say half of people think “AI” is important for a smart phone, but the majority think it’s shit when they have it.

   That’s because they’ve been sold a lie and despite the tech bros having bet the farm on them not figuring that out, the direction of travel is inevitable https://www.macrumors.com/2024/12/16/survey-users-uninterested-in-apple-intelligence/

     @sinbad I was considering how long I could get away with not upgrading my phone and tablet to the latest iOS AI infested release, and then I realised both devices were too old to have access to said AI features allegedly - so not has my reluctance to upgrade said devices, since they are fast enough, saved me money, but it’s helping to protect me from AI shenanigans. Win win.

     @sinbad the article says "nearly half" of *iphone users* think AI is important, and only 23.7% of samsung users felt the same. Clearly the buried lede here is that apple users are more vulnerable to hype and marketing.
