I'd be quite disappointed if the AI is only useful for the photo taking purposes as scene recognition is just like "auto" mode which is not really useful for seasoned photographers. Besides, do pro really touch up their photos on their phone?
What I'd actually like to see is the computer learning our daily routines like when you reached home, turn on wifi, off bluetooth, set ringer to silent, etc etc. Creates multiple profiles for in car, at office, outdoor, meetings, and set it automatically by the AI. Although, there are software that can do some of that but some features require root so if AI can do that would be a big plus
laojiao phone guy deckcard, great post.
According to a Medium article, the AI is useful for all the things you mentioned, including noise reduction, noise enhancement. Also, 3rd party apps will leverage many many AI functions, eg a writing app which can immediately OCR your handwritten text, presence and situation detect, health anomaly alert (eg from your Garmin heartbeat detect watch), language improvement app which will help write posts in good english, many others.
What you mention is situational detection, and I'm almost sure that it will be easily integrated into any AI phone.
Regarding "Besides, do pro really touch up their photos on their phone?" what I read was an AI machine learning technique which analysed professionally touched up images by the thousands, not necessarily handphone photos but photos in general, to learn techniques and situations when pros touch up photos and what they do, and apply the touchup in real time for your phone images.
