Looking forward to a bunch of overhyped presentations about mediocre AI integrations that never turn into anything useful and get quickly scrapped

They'll also be announcing some new thing that is average, but as it overlaps with an existing thing that is awesome and barely related, they're of course shutting that down.

My Chrome installation updated itself recently, and when I restarted it today, it asked me whether I wanted to enable new AI features. I told it no. In retrospect, if it were really intelligent, it would have known I was going to say no.

    Google needs to develop AI^2 local feature. It knows what you want to add to the future AI feature.

This kind of comment is what you get when you are on the wrong side of HN. You wouldn't find it for Nvidia's or Apple's events that are similarly full of marketing and hypes. Google earn it, someone would say. That doesn't make such a comment less pointless or shallow.

Some of their AI features are pretty useful, like circle to search, accessibility, and the new-ish proofreading features. At the same time, I don't know if anyone cares about, e.g., AI generated wallpapers.

  Unrelated to Google, but one of Android's best high quality wallpaper apps, Walli4k, has been absolutely devastated by AI generated crap. The weirdest part is that it's the Walli4k team that is adding all of them. The app has become almost unusable.

    I was quite fond of the built-in live wallpapers, but Google isn't creating any new ones. Do you know of any decent 3rd party ones?

I am actually looking forward to their Hardware. Especially the Pixel 9. I just wish I could have it in Hong Kong. The worldwide availability of Pixel 8 remains extremely limited with 20 regions only. And I have no idea why Google hasn't done anything about it.
