I think this is the correct approach on a phone. I don't want AI front-and-center. I want it in the background quietly making everything better. To me, that's a much more useful form of AI.

And I want it turned the fuck off, quietly not doing anything with my personal shit.

I want to reach for my tools when I want to use them.

I'll argue that face recognition, event detection and share recommendations are nice features.

They are all done locally on your device for the last decade, at least.

that stuff is also essentially machine learning, just more parameters and better marketing

I don't think it's marketing's primary purpose to be off-putting?

Anyway, it's not the same thing: I'm fine with machine learning to give me better image search results, I'm not fine with machine learning to generate "art" or machine learning to generate text. Everyone has collectively agreed to call the latter "AI" rather than machine learning, so the term is a useful distinction.

it's a misleading distinction that's causing people to spiral out and think they're talking to an actual intelligence and is also being used to bamboozle lawmakers into allowing massive amounts of content theft
