Introduction
Every year, new phones are launched and the competition continues to grow between major companies to attract more consumers. Today, the competition is through employing a new element that encourages modernization: “artificial intelligence”.
New smartphones include features that help you review a large number of texts, obtain impressive photos, and much more. So we can see that the major companies are still racing against time to develop artificial intelligence tools and features and include them in their operational programs.
But the real question here is: Which of these AI-powered tools embedded in smartphones are really useful?
A large number of phones today allow you to resize images and remove people and objects from them, and the generative artificial intelligence embedded in these phones then fills in the visual gaps left by these adjustments. It's like Photoshop, except that someone does the hard work for you, albeit with limited capabilities. You can use these built-in tools to generate people, objects, and other imaginative extras that weren't present in the original image.
Often the results end up being unsatisfactory. Either the filling of the gaps is not successful, or the filling looks like smearing, which affects the quality of the image.
But the really scary tools are those that allow the user to choose specific expressions on the faces of people appearing in one of a series of photos taken in a row.
Also an important function is the function of audio recording applications; because it not only records but also converts the recordings into detailed texts. In principle, this feature helps in freeing yourself from the burden of recording notes during a meeting or lecture, especially since, within seconds, it will provide you with a written text with satisfactory quality of what you heard.
So, if the goal is to obtain a reliable transcript to accompany the audio recordings, there is no doubt that these tools will help a lot, especially since they are able to distinguish between different speakers, which later helps in reading and understanding any conversation.However, the final texts often require some review and modification before they are copied and added, which is significant work.
With an impressive AI tool also can be described as summarize what you see.Who among us has not clicked on a Wikipedia page, an article, or a recipe that contains a lot of detail before arriving at the target point?Some smartphones can help with scanning these pages and provide with the summary we need about them. (As simple as that).
Conclusion
Going back to this questionWhich of these AI-powered tools embedded in smartphones are really useful?
The answer is difficult because it depends on the use of the phone and what we consider useful. To help in this area, we can use educational tools that include the artificial intelligence features that we will encounter in phones, so that we can decide which ones are useful to us.
Another factor which is the dependency on these tools, where till now and I am sure a lot of us practiced that in person where the AI tools are still giving many mistakes and inaccurate data.
Big mobile phone companies are trying to apply AI tools on their operating systems, yet it will need more and more studies before totally adopting this concept.
