Another year, anotherGalaxy Unpacked, bringing with it another flagship Samsung phone for everyone to enjoy.
Clearly Samsung is struggling to let Bixby go, and that needs to change.
The Galaxy S24 shouldnt have any issues utilizing Googles on-gear AI either.
This is an AI-infused Bixby that has been powered by SamsungsGauss Large Language Model(LLM).
This new Bixby has also been designed to be more conversational and can understand natural language.
The problem here is that Samsung hasnt actually elaborated much on what Bixby can actually do.
Really theres no clear distinction between Bixbys capabilities and those of other local AI models like Gemini Nano.
To the point where Im just confused as to why Bixby needs to be there at all.
Isnt it time to send this particular price of software to a farm upstate?
Even if it was just to hunt down their missing phone or set timers when theyre cooking.
That was never the case with Bixby, it was always just… there.
Samsung did a lot to try and push people into using Bixby.
Even Samsungs attempt to offer a Bixby-powered rival toAmazons Echowent absolutely nowhere.
Instead Samsung is clinging to Bixby like Linus clings to his blanket.
I really dont understand why Samsung has been so stubbornly sticking with Bixby for so long.
The response to the software has been room temperatureat bestand downright scornful the rest of the time.
The company has to be aware of Bixbys poor reputation, and its powered on anyway.
And really, thats something Samsung should have just pulled the trigger on many years ago.
Bottom Line
In many ways its incredible that Bixby actually made it this far.
Its time for Samsung to get a reality check, and dump Bixby once and for all.
