>I recently got a new Pixel phone and Google's much hyped new AI features just seem so... gimmicky

Not just that, but their biggest crime is that almost none of those fancy AI features Google paraded at the Pixel launch even actually run on-device but need to be sent to their cloud for processing, despite all the gloating about their new Tensor 3 chip's AI capabilities being the most important (since that chip sucks at CPU and GPU benchmarks compared to Apple and Qualcomm). Also, their Tensor 3 can't even run Google's smallest LLM. Absolutely embarrassing.

They REALLY need to unify the HW and SW development efforts to create a coherent and functional product, instead of designing them separately bazaar style then jerry rigging them together like some underfunded start-up making products for Kickstarter.

So sad but this continues to be the case for Google's incursion into AI. Why do they still keep Pichar around?

As a customer running on device is fairly low on my priorities, and I assume that's the case for at least 90% of users.

Would it be nice? Sure, but I much prefer useful features now that could run on device later on if it adds value.
