It's abundantly clear that AI is an ill-defined term that represents a currently required bullet point on a product spec sheet for the industry in order to capture enthusiasm among the general public and, in this case, NOT representative of the possibility of carrying a general purpose, artificially-intelligent entity in your pocket that happens to have been included as a hardware feature embedded in your phone's CPU.
who ever claimed there is an artificially intelligent ~entity~?? just call it automated inference if it's so hard to not take words completely literally, it WAS a buzzword on past things that lacked accelerated hardware and didnt use the various ml libraries
moving goal posts again to twist everything into you being our dear universal savior spitting on everything and everyone, nitpicking semantics is such critically important information, how great that it's cleared up
let's also lay off hundreds of thousands of people and never make any new hardware and never research different ways of computing, a low power years old laptop is all anyone in any field with any hobby needs (arbitrarily not too many years and not too recent, complete with attacking the intelligence of people that buy newer or more powerful products which gave you the opportunity to have low cost offers of used parts in the first place!)
local offline language processing (assistant using complete sentences, translation of text, creative writing, game lore), local offline image processing (object removal, object insertion, depth or low light processing, photo enhancer, style filters, stylized art/drawings, avatars, vtubers), audio processing (noise reduction, dropout supplementing, transcribing, translating, creative voice filters, game characters, assistants that speak, music generation), object/sound/voice identification utilizes the same hardware anyway
things multiple phones have been doing for years already, what exactly is your complaint and why is it exclusive to qualcomm? depending on an internet connection is unacceptable, requiring desktop nvidia gpus is unacceptable, low power socs encourage research and innovation for efficient small size ai processing

Indeed, it's the current bullet point, as cloud was the past few years. No one wants to miss out on those dollars.Captain obvious - Thursday, March 21, 2024 - link
Or AR/VR/MR/XR, or "metaverse"kn00tcn - Thursday, March 21, 2024 - link
AR/VR/MR/XR are absolutely clearly defined terms with specific meanings and an ecosystem of tools+content that's been in use for years...kn00tcn - Thursday, March 21, 2024 - link

Why does my smartphone need to be able to do generative AI in the first place Qualcomm?kn00tcn - Thursday, March 21, 2024 - link

None of those things sound like needs."what exactly is your complaint and why is it exclusive to qualcomm"
Don't put words in my mouth.

It looks very solid compared to its predecessors.
