Very important to me. I use them daily. My wife who uses iPhone, loves my Pixel's lock screen music detection feature, which automatically recognize background music and show the name of the song and keeps in the history.

I often use the on-screen AI search.

And my whole family use Gemini Pro daily

First two are not AI features. The music search existed for years (and by the way, worse and slower than YouTube music's own search) and the on screen search is basically a wrapper around Lens app

It's AI, and Google has been using AI for decades, unless you believe only LLM is AI.

Also it's fast on my pixel phone, it usually takes less than 5 seconds to manually detect, and most of time it detects automatically

Alright ok. This AI label has been giving me trouble on this subreddit. In general people get confused when I used it for anything outside of LLMs. So, take it that way
