While your friend with an Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy might be able to edit their photos, Google&#8217;s latest phones take it a step further by letting you tinker with things like capturing a group photo that doesn&#8217;t represent accurately the real moment.  This may be impressive from a technological point of view, but it seems a little scary.  But this is not the question. <\/div>\n<h2>Google&#8217;s claims about generative AI built into the Pixel 8 seem very impressive<\/h2>\n<div>This year was all about AI.  But as cool as it sounds, this AI thing requires a lot of resources.  For example, some experts estimate that it costs <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcguide.com\/apps\/how-much-does-chatgpt-cost-to-run\/\">$100,000 per day to run ChatGPT<\/a>.<\/div>\n<p>You may be wondering why ChatGPT is so expensive to operate.  Well, that&#8217;s because it requires a lot of computing power.  On top of that, they have to pay researchers and developers.  And of course, there&#8217;s also the cost of data storage.<\/p>\n<div>But this article is not about ChatGPT.  It&#8217;s Google&#8217;s incredible Tensor G3, which the company says &#8220;brings the latest in AI to the world.&#8221; <span>Pixel 8<\/span> And <span>Pixel 8 <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/pro\/\"   title=\"Pro\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Pro<\/a><\/span>. <\/div>\n<div>As Google notes in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/pixel\/google-tensor-g3-pixel-8\/\">a blog post<\/a>, most AI innovations rely on processing power only available in data centers.  But the <span>G3 tensor<\/span> is different, depending on the company.  It brings AI to the <a href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/3925\/original_title-162\/\">Pixel 8 and 8 Pro<\/a>.  The company acknowledges, however, that on-device generative AI is very complex.<\/div>\n<div>But <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/google\/\"   title=\"Google\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Google<\/a> somehow managed to bring it to the <span>Pixel 8<\/span>, including the text-to-speech model used in Google data centers.  Some of the features that have benefited from this are currently only available in the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/united\/\"   title=\"United\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">United<\/a> States.<\/div>\n<p>Machine learning algorithms are also improving cameras, allowing phones to do things like take a <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/series\/\"   title=\"series\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">series<\/a> of photos, then individually select subjects based on their best photo, then create a group photo (Best Take) .  Google says it uses in-device algorithms to achieve this.<\/p>\n<p>Another AI feature is Magic Editor, which lets you resize and reposition topics with \u201ca few clicks.\u201d  There is also the Audio Magic Eraser feature which removes distracting sounds such as background noise from your <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/video\/\"   title=\"video\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">video<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h2>Most AI magic apparently happens away from your phone <\/h2>\n<div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Google Pixel 8 \/ 8 Pro Review - Problems!\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3ZDcr1icSo4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Google may have overestimated the capabilities of <span>G3 tensor<\/span>, according to YouTuber Mrwhosetheboss.  He noticed that every AI-based feature requires an internet connection.  This is because it seems that the Pixel 8Google&#8217;s chip isn&#8217;t powerful (and smart) enough to perform all of the aforementioned tasks and must send them to Google&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/3185\/original_title-114\/\">servers<\/a> to complete. <\/p>\n<p>In the case of Magic Editor, an image must first be saved to your Google account before being processed.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the picture painted by Google and not everyone would agree with sending their images to Google for processing.  And even if you&#8217;re willing to accept that, Mrwhosetheboss says the process isn&#8217;t as seamless as Google describes, and deleting items and moving items takes a lot of time.  Phones sometimes have trouble identifying objects and in some cases you get an error saying that Magic Editor cannot display the desired results because it might violate its terms.<\/p>\n<div>Even with all the lags and delays, it&#8217;s obvious that <a href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/2210\/securing-your-data-google-works-on-repair-mode-in-android-14-for-hassle-free-device-repairs_id151703\/\">Google put a lot of work<\/a> into these editing features, but most of the work seems to happen off-device.  Mrwhosetheboss likened the experience to using an AI website on your phone.<\/div>\n<div>The slowdowns also make it clear that the <span>G3 tensor<\/span> isn&#8217;t as powerful as the chips that power other high-end 2023 phones. During our review, we found that the iPhone 15 Pro Max and <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/galaxy\/\"   title=\"Samsung\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Samsung<\/a> Galaxy S23 Ultra are significantly more powerful than the <span>Pixel 8 Pro<\/span>at least when it comes to benchmark scores.<\/div>\n<div>Mrwhosetheboss compared it to the iPhone 12&#8217;s A14 Bionic and says tasks that haven&#8217;t been optimized seem slower than on a competing device.  And while it&#8217;s not as fast as competing phones, the <span>Pixel 8<\/span> doesn&#8217;t seem to be as effective as Google made it out to be and it doesn&#8217;t take much to make it heat up and slow down.<\/div>\n<p>Hopefully phones will improve over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pixel 8 apparently handing bulk of AI work to Google&#8217;s servers as Tensor G3 not that capable\u060c In a world where so much is fake and pretentious, Google&#8217;s new Pixel 8 and 8 Pro give you the tools you need to stand out.
