A survey of more than 2,000 smartphone users by second-hand smartphone marketplace SellCell found that 73% of iPhone users and a whopping 87% of Samsung Galaxy users felt that AI adds little to no value to their smartphone experience.
SellCell only surveyed users with an AI-enabled phone – thats an iPhone 15 Pro or newer or a Galaxy S22 or newer. The survey doesn’t give an exact sample size, but more than 1,000 iPhone users and more than 1,000 Galaxy users were involved.
Further findings show that most users of either platform would not pay for an AI subscription: 86.5% of iPhone users and 94.5% of Galaxy users would refuse to pay for continued access to AI features.
From the data listed so far, it seems that people just aren’t using AI. In the case of both iPhone and Galaxy users about two-fifths of those surveyed have tried AI features – 41.6% for iPhone and 46.9% for Galaxy.
So, that’s a majority of users not even bothering with AI in the first place and a general disinterest in AI features from the user base overall, despite both Apple and Samsung making such a big deal out of AI.
Am I crazy? I’ve got this thing writing code and listing website listings. I ask it certain things before Google and just have it give me the source. I use it to sum up huge documents to quickly analyze them before I go through them. Feels like how Google felt I when it first came out. Yall using the same ai?
(Apple ai is not what I’m talking about)
I’ve asked bing gpt to find me 4k laptops and it proceeded to list 5 laptops that weren’t 4k. Asked for the heaviest Pokemon and it responded wailord which has never been correct. Had gpt (not bing) attempt to write an AHK script for me to have forwards and backwards media keys, it failed. I asked it to fix it, it said what was broken, why it didn’t work and then fixed it by giving me the exact code that didnt work the first time.
It’s consistently wrong to me so i now just skip it because if I haven’t to double check everything it says anyway, I might as well just do the research myself.
I also use gen AI for coding assistance and have had an extremely positive experience, but I almost never use it on my smartphone
