I like the idea of AI. But I want it to be optional.
I'm going to be honest, I'm not a fan of talking to my phone. So I'd not want to use this so called feature. If they force this change this will be my last Samsung phone.
I just hope the other manufacturers don't follow suit.
I can see this being useful if executed well and if it just looks for specific settings. I often can't find certain settings and google what the name is (first Android phone). I think it has potential when used as a sort of smart fuzzy finder.
and all of this of course will only work with a samsung account where you agree to share all your phone's data constantly; in addition a small monthly subscription fee, and then you can finally change your screen brightness of your phone again that you bought for a 1000 USD

So a .config file that you can transfer between phones then right? Right, Samsung...?
Also: screen spikes.
Gave up on Samsung after the S4, guess I will keep not buying their products
They problem is, one company leads and other's follow. It's hard to say for sure that this will remain a Samsung "feature".
And I'm never switching back. Fuck you very much, Samsung.
