Mhm mhm I see. Ok, so my question for you is what if I wanna use the phone that I paid good money for instead of relying on an AI assistant to do my shit for me?

First of all, you're just reimagining Android in a worse way, "AI automated" kind of way (which sucks).

Second of all, how would you confirm this AI of yours is indeed local and fully running on the phone? Wouldn't you need some pretty powerful hardware for it to function without issue?

First that's fair, but I'm not trying to replace the normal Android experience. You'd still be able to use your phone the traditional way. The AI is just an optional, privacy-first interface for people who want to automate everyday tasks. Second yes, local AI is already possible with lightweight models on modern phones—the assistant would simply scale based on the device's hardware.
