Comment on AI in Mobile Phones: The Era of Smart App-less Interfaces
shiftymccool@programming.dev 1 month agoI even turn off the “frequently used apps” features on android launchers. If I frequently use it, I’ve already put it in a prominent spot so I can access it easily. I don’t need some frecency algorithm or ai to tell me I use something frequently, I already know!
Knowing exactly where something is every time is far better than that thing I’m looking for being buried because I want to use it during a time of day that I don’t normally
You’re better off. Probably save money that way.
Case in point: every time I enter the car and pair to Bluetooth, my suggested apps are Maps, Spotify, Dunkin, and something else.
Having the Dunkin app right there is the best marketing. All of a sudden I start thinking about how much I want a coffee and where the Dunkin’s are on my route.

This is the most egregious instance of this practice. I hate icons being shuffled.
