I remember when Android proudly introduced "AI screen brightness", or something like that. It was before "AI" meant having to have NLP.
The difference I noticed was that the system tended to react to me manually ramping up the brightness, by turning it all the way down again after a few seconds, and vice versa.
It was supposed to be "learning" but it stayed like this for at least a year/major version.
30 years in tech has taught me that a system labelled "intelligent" is the often the dumbest imaginable.
