I've been really impressed with all the Pixel phones I have owned. The times in between when I have went with something else, I immediately went back to a Pixel with my next phone. The one phone that came close to being as good as my Pixel, but not quite was the One+ that I had for a while. Those were much more attractive when they were trying to keep their prices low while still offering flagship features. That eventually went away. I think there will definitely be a point where some form of AI touches everything we do.
