meaning some unpredictable AI will now be closing background processes on me?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

Yes, for that 5-10% battery improvement.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Not completely unpredictable, I assure you that no a single Samsung app will be ever closed.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, no, seriously, battery management is now AI, and it's not just a rebrand of the same power management scheme we've had for years, honest. hahahahahahahahahahaha

Yeah, adaptive battery 1st introduced in android 9.

Doesn't running an AI model typically use more battery?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The model size for this task would be so small and energy consumption so miniscule it won't matter.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

In theory, assuming Samsung doesn't decide to use that for other purposes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Hmm, that's not how it works.

What's next? Touch AI? AI lockscreen? AI ribbon cables?

But is tech also when AI?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

If I understand correctly something like "touch AI" is already used, at least on keyboards. It's actually very difficult to touch what you think you're touching on a phone screen, so your device does some degree of prediction of where you really wanted to touch.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Will the battery be removable for the next model? Is the model locally run?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

They have much more complex models running on-device. It would be laughable if this was not.
