Matthew Day wondered if an artificial intelligence-equipped Google Pixel 9 smartphone could tell him the best local fishing spots.
California Congresswoman Gail Pellerin took a playful photo of her dog in front of the state Capitol.
Igor Gaspar and Pixel discussed the causes of inflation.
When people in Santa Cruz try to use the Pixel 9 and its features, fascination mixed with worry is a common reaction, including “adding” themselves to photos and the ability to have a smart digital assistant under their command.
AFP visited coastal cities in California and asked passers-by to test features on mobile phones. Google and Apple are increasingly integrating artificial intelligence into their products, and they believe this is an era of change that has become the core device of modern life.
“I asked it a question, and it quickly gave me the answer,” Day said while inspecting the Pixel 9.
“This is much better than my current mobile phone. That’s all I’ll tell you.”
“People can definitely use some incredible tools to do creative things and collect information,” Pelelin said after testing Pixel.
However, concerns have also increased.
“But I’m also concerned about its malicious use, and we need to have these guardrails and regulations so it doesn’t cause serious damage to any industry or community or anywhere else,” she added.
Pelelin supports state legislation aimed at preventing artificial intelligence from being used for misinformation and deep falsification.
However, in addition to concerns, she also expressed admiration for the benefits of artificial intelligence features, such as the Add Me tool, which allows people to take photos of family or friends and then add themselves to it as if they had been part of the group from the beginning.
“As these tools emerge, I can see myself using them more and more,” she said of artificial intelligence on smartphones.
“It’s scary. If we have to live without them, it will only add to our despair.”
Something fancy?
Leilani Gilpin, a professor of computer science at the University of California, Santa Cruz, questioned the need to put artificial intelligence in people’s pockets and wondered whether confidence-sounding smartphone replies would obscure moments when the software “hallucinated”(fabricating inaccurate information).
“Different language models produce different information,” Gilpin said.
“So the same thing will happen to people who use it,” she added, holding up her smartphone.
“Whether it’s for trivia or to generate images or something else, there’s going to be some fictional information, and that’s just how the model works.”
Gilpin likes the idea of having a conversation with artificial intelligence while walking, but he feels that verbal communication lacks the feeling of talking to a real person.
“I’ve studied a lot of these techniques, so I feel like it’s some fancy stuff I’ve seen before,” Gilpin said.
“I don’t think this will be a super revolution.”
Gilpin and others have also found smartphone artificial intelligence to be lengthy, delving into topics when short responses are enough.
At the same time, Jasper and some friends used Pixel’s “Add Me” feature to create a group photo, which alone prompted one of them to volunteer to swap phones.
“It’s a really impressive feature,” said Gaspar, 23.
“But with the information wars we face, I think a lot of people may be afraid of the futuristic aspects of things-just as you can add me to the picture in a realistic way.”
Jasper was “surprised” to see powerful artificial intelligence tools on the new smartphone, and said incorporating them into an iPhone could ruin his taste of Apple products unless he felt he had complete control of the technology.
“I don’t want to have something so advanced that we’re not even sure how it works on our phones,” Jasper said.
“I do like Apple products, but I would give up on that if consumers moved to artificial intelligence without a choice.”
In some respects, companies are already trying to avoid the negative impact of integrating artificial intelligence into their products.
Google appears to be taking steps to avoid controversy, with the Gemini AI digital assistant on Pixel refusing to talk about elections or politics, and the image-generation tool telling users it will not depict real people.
