I was thinking about dynamic lock screens and Al in phones. They feel something really new specially dynamic lock screen and useful but do you think they are the best tech trends this year or is there something else exciting

I just got a pixel 9 a few weeks ago and although the AI is all over the place and really easy to use, it also blows donkey cock and never actually works. It fails to provide even basic information. It's replies to texts are completely deranged. I asked it to total my Yahtzee card and it just made up numbers and told me I scored like 700 points.

I haven't really used AI before it got shoehorned into my phone, is it supposed to be bad? What, like a joke? Because I don't get it. I feel like that development money would have been better spent literally anywhere.

Google assistant was useful for basic tasks. Map to x call x remind me to do x on y.

Gemini is fucking useless. Ask it to call local sandwich shop and it's like, "ok calling the one 40 miles away."

Pixels are only good for easy degoogled OS installation.
