People really think auto responses use ai when they haven't deviated since their origins on like Nextel pagers? There's a lot of "if else" context loops being thrown around as AI nowadays. It's really funny somebody got mad at their phone over it's perceived noon emotional response to pulling the plug. One coz it's a phone, and two because it handles complex emotional decisions better than you.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING ME WITH THIS, GOOGLE I texted "oh baby" to my girlfriend, and it suggested "what do you want?" as a reply.

The most disappointing part is eventually it runs out of suggestions (tested on email not SMS) if you and the other party just keep pressing the suggested content.

The observer says to himself "I could have written that". With that thought he moves the program in question from the shelf marked "intelligent", to that reserved for curios Taken from here but written about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA, by its own developer, in 1966. Holds true still. Particularly now when the term AI gets thrown around so casually by marketing people, or even extremely competent software people, who just want to be rich.

It's just funny is all. Extremely complex thing is supposed to work well but sometimes doesn't. Although yeah, an accidental tap could become problematic.

Does gboards swipe texting go from great to absofuckinglutely terrible for random periods of time for anyone else? So incredibly frustrating and making me want to ditch gboard altogether.

I never know what will happen on Gboard and that's worse.

Fuckin' same, and it's especially bad for me lately. It's not even consistently capitalizing "I." God, I miss Swype.

Out of curiosity, what timescale is the typing quality variability happening on? Like is one word good then the next bad? Or is it per input session, apk release, etc?

In case anyone is wondering, the support folks over at Nova Launcher got back to me and said that they'd fix the folder issue in a future update.

It's not so much word to word or even session to session (though it does happen) but over longer periods of time and I don't think it's tied to release. I honestly believe it's server side. Toast Museum's comment about "I" is correct and an easy one to look for and it really just comes and goes. It's absolutely infuriating. I've pretty much given up Swype but Swype even in its deprecated state is far, far more reliable and consistent. Of course its emoji list is no longer getting updated and some have just disappeared so there are problems in sticking with that.

I always thought there was something weird with the ratings for apps in the app store, like the scores would be too high for the general tone of the reviews. This is all the reviews for this app (telegram fast); they are clearly not representing the ratings correctly in the graphs at the top.

My phone just updated to pie and I absolutely hate the clock being on the left hand side of the notification bar. Anyone know if any apps to let me modify that? I looked at Material Status Bar, but the permissions on that seemed excessive.

The Modern Leper posted:I've rated a bunch of apps, but never written a review. Why would you think that the reviews have to be representative of the overall ratings? I think they're referring to how the graph only shows 2 one-star ratings but there are more than two reviews in the screenshot that show the reviewer gave it one star. And I think the answer here is that it's a new app: a lot of big websites have systems where some statistics (such as user ratings) aren't re-calculated instantly every time one new bit of information comes in, so the reviews are shown here but the newer ratings haven't been rolled into the big overall number on top. I've seen this on YouTube once in a while, when a newly-uploaded video goes super viral but the view counter stays at like 300 for hours

Dunno if that's something you'd be interested in doing but that's your only other option.

I dug through the settings and did a quick Google search and only saw suggestions to make the notification bar text black and use a black wallpaper. I don't want to lose all the icons though, just this dang clock.

I don't want to lose all the icons though, just this dang clock. If you use Nova Launcher (or even if you don't), use it to create a widget of an Activity. The selection should be System UI > System UI demo mode. Once it's placed, click the widget and select "Status Bar", then at the bottom "Time". Select "Don't show this icon". You can then remove the widget if you don't intend to venture back into the System UI Tuner.

I'm already in love with Nova but had no idea I could do stuff like that with the widget. I need to actually look into all the stuff it can do apparently. I appreciate it! Edit: Well apparently the clock only stays hidden until I pull down the notification shade and then it comes back and persists until I re-disable it. It was a good idea though. I guess I'm stuck.

I guess I'm stuck. Seriously? Holy poo poo, you're right. Sorry, I didn't test it, I just knew the option was in the System UI Tuner (although I had every intention of using it on the Pixel 3 XL which can only show two notification icons at maximum). That sucks.

Skarsnik posted:Honestly you'll get used to it pretty quickly, a few days thinking you have a notification and then you won't care any more This is true but at the same time it's a dumb concession to a dumb idea and I certainly understand and sympathize anyone wishing it were reverted. It'd be one thing if it helped solve the problem at hand, which preventing status icons from being cut off by a notch (as those have nowhere else to live), but to break Android's primary UX paradigm of notifications leading to action is a fool's tradeoff. The fact is that statusbar real estate is too valuable and is so populated that all compromises are detrimental to usage in some way. Until notches go away no one's going to be satisfied.

Is it just me or is it really dumb that Digital Wellness won't let me see how many times I unlocked my phone on previous days? The only information I get about the past is total phone usage, which I'm not terribly interested in.

Can anyone recommend any good workout tracking apps? Something that makes it easy to log and visualize cardiovascular exercises would be great. If it also has some kind of running route tracker too that would be awesome, but that's less of a necessity.

Anyone using Cricket, maybe only on Pie with a Pixel? My visual voicemail app isn't pulling up new messages, just flashing "no connectivity" at the bottom at a rapid rate. Dunno if it's because of Pie or the service itself being screwy.
