It's better, yeah. But that doesn't mean it's good. Ideal would be them simply paying for a voice actor to record all the lines, which in the case of Arc Raiders they now thankfully appear to be doing.

In a vacuum, in this instance, I'm mostly inclined to agree.
It normalising the practice is what I dislike.

No-one else, or at least as high profile, was doing AI voicework in their games. Embark were essentially the first with The Finals.
One successful game/studio doing it opens the door for other studios to start doing it.

No other keyboard does the backspace swipe like gboard does. It is the reason I get hung up on whatever else I try.

Also One Hand Operation+ and some of the other Good Lock apps.
Quick Cursor has been an okay replacement for OHO+

Also modes/routines. Tasker is not the same.

google does have a setting to automatically turn my WiFi on when I come home, but not off when I leave! samsung did.

Again, I do not regret making the switch. But damn, samsung does so much more than google Android.

Apps notwithstanding; they did some great things to move the industry forward with OneUI. I still prefer it over the more native google Android on my Fairphone 6.
Also the samsung gallery app is amazing. Automatic tagging, great editing tools, all native to the phone without any google cloud necessary. Samsung Notes is solid. Migrating from one phone to another transferred all apps and their settings too, even F-droid ones, rather than having the play store simply redownload them.

But, despite all that, there was a reason I made the switch to Fairphone. Fuck samsung and their overall business practices.

They don't seem to have gone about it in a bad way, but it still further opens the door to more icky practices.

I do miss the camera from my Samsung since making the switch. I'm looking into pocket cameras since I do find those fun to play around with, but that's a bit of a dead category in recent years.

Performance-wise the Fairphone 6 has been more than fine for me. Maybe it wouldn't have been if I played 3D games, but I don't, so I wouldn't know.

Through Murena, I believe?

I was getting tripped up by how the text of the facebook link looks all warbled, did they add even that with AI? o.0

It can be useful for generating switch cases and other such not-quite copy-paste work too. There are reasonable use cases... if you ignore how the training data was sourced.

Wonder they are fucking stupid enough to sue YouTube for something similar.

They don't/no longer need to, YouTube has content ID and copyright claims.

 
 
 

I am still holding onto my S22 for a while yet, but I am looking for something non-Samsung as my next device (probably Fairphone).

Whilst I think I can do without most of Samsung's features, I do really like the gallery app and what it offers. Background OCR so I can search for text in an image, and manual as well as automatic tags. The built-in editor is also nice, but there are alternatives for that.
The main reason I like using manual tags and OCR is for quickly sharing memes I've saved over the years.

I have resigned myself to losing the tags I've already created, as it doesn't seem those can be exported. But I have yet to find a gallery app in which I can slowly start rebuilding my set.

Here's some of what I've come across:

  • Google's gallery is not an option for me. I want to move away from big tech.
  • Aves supports tags, but is very laggy to use and has no automatic OCR/tags.
  • PhotoPrism doesn't support OCR.
  • Ente doesn't do OCR or manual tags.
  • "Gallery" looks promising, but does not yet have the feature set I'm looking for.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
