The A.I. in Google’s New Pixel 11 Is Not Very Helpful
Google's Pixel 11 ships with AI features designed to handle tasks like grocery ordering, restaurant reservations, and photography on behalf of the user. Reviews suggest the functionality, while technically present, may not match what people actually want from a phone.
Why this matters: When your phone acts on your behalf, the line between helpful tool and surveillance apparatus gets blurry fast. Ordering groceries or booking tables means the AI is touching your preferences, your schedule, and your spending habits. That data does not stay on the device. The real issue is not whether the feature works well. It is what it costs you in privacy to let it work at all, and whether anyone asked you that question clearly before you said yes.
