Popular YouTuber @Mrwhosetheboss has singled out the Google Tensor G3 as a major failing of the Pixel 8 Pro. According to the YouTuber, all of the new generative AI features found on the Pixel 8 Pro cannot be processed onboard the device, but need to be off-loaded to the cloud for processing, despite Google pitching the device as being “AI-first.”
How did you think it worked before this?
People are literally clueless. But then they’d complain when an on phone AI capable model came out, maybe from the fan noise equivalent to a rack server and the backpack battery it needed to run for a couple hours.
Thats how you tell the difference from actual privacy advocates. Somebody with half a clue would NEVER actually expect this stuff to be able to happen on device.
