> It's not fine when this "magic" is being advertised as on-device.

I can't help but notice that you included a lot of references, but none for this claim.

Neither of the features mentioned in the article is claimed to be on-device in the official Pixel 8 Pro announcement blog[0]. The only feature that the blog post claims is on-device is the Best Take feature, which the article does not say requires an internet connection.

But of course that's just one bit of marketing material, and I'm sure you've seen these features advertised as happening on-device. Maybe you could post a link?
