I just want to vent about how horrible this AI nonsense is. Instead of working well and quickly, I have to wait 2-3 seconds for it to shimmer at me like a Twilight vampire before I can sort of select what I want and then carefully try to change the boundaries and hope it works (which it never does). It's such an infuriating experience that after more than a decade of buying Samsung phones, I'm done. This is the moment I see the emperor hasn't had clothes for a while. Why give up my ability to join Raya when the UX is just rapidly degrading into the same AI "powered" nonsense as everything else?

I can't wait for the AI trend to go the way of NFTs. It makes everything worse and everyone dumber. I have family members who have been exquisite writers since before I was born using ChatGPT to write everything for them, burning up the planet to be lazy and plagiarize. The en**bleep**tification of everything. It's pathetic.

Apple doesn't have anything like Smart Select, so have fun I guess.

If it's missing from both, that removes an advantage from Samsung. I've been on Samsung phones for more than a decade and had no intention to switch, but the things that were better are rapidly vanishing, and this is one i used a lot. It's not that I think they have a replacement, but that if it's gone, why bother to stay?

if you do decide to go the Apple route, wait until the 17 comes out w all the AI features they've been working on and touting. didn't make it into the 16 (which is falsely advertised), but hey! that's Tim C(r)ook!

Tim is in the uncanny valley of tech bros in that he's making industry standard **bleep** choices but not going for moonshot idiocy. He doesn't have the discernment of Jobs but he's not a ketted-out incel and recognizes the concept of legacy which can prevent the wild swing problems other firms are seeing.
