Dumb Bixby

[alians07]

Already dumb enough. To add, it won't let me finish the statement. I am talking and it starts showing random options. How rude.

Bixby with Machine Learning would have been better i.e. if they are going through my privacy anyways.

"Machine Learning" isn't in its infancy yet. It hasn't even been physically conceived yet. It's an idea so far.

And we don't have artificial intelligence, we don't even have artificial stupidity. We have a parser that, in this case, thinks it "understands" what you want before you finish and a fair database lookup.

Android Assistant isn't much better - a lot of questions are "answered" by running a Google search of the words you spoke and presenting you with the Google page - in effect "I have no idea".

Some day we might have artificial stupidity, but I doubt that anyone who's been born yet will see it. Artificial intelligence? Maybe in 5 centuries or so. You note down a doctor's appointment. The phone app knows that you like to get to that doctor 10 minutes early. (It keeps track of things like that without being asked to or being set up to - the way a person would.) It starts checking Maps about an hour before you'd normally have to leave, to make sure that, if theree's a major accident, trying things up for many blocks, you can still get there 10 minutes early by using an alternate route it plots for you. Then, 5 minutes before you have to leave it lets you know that you'll have to be leaving for the doctor in 5 minutes. All you entered was Dr. Jones, 2:30 PM, September 20. The AI in the phone took the initiative to take it from there. Maybe in a few centuries.

How difficult is it to really for a company big as Samsung to make Bixby close to Apple or Google?

Used it first day. I said, "Open Messenger."

It launched the Samsung Internet browser and Googled Messenger for me. LOL

If you want SIRI, why not just get an EYEPHONE?

You mean that they should move their engineers to Cupertino or Mountain View?

It is very, very difficult.

It is very, very difficult.

A close friend works for Amazon in the develop.ent of Alexa. I agree, not easy at all lol

Works great for me! You have to train it sometimes.

I've found adding commands to Bixby can help.

However I'm in the camp of forgetting to even use it.

To the Bixby detractors...
Watch this video from YouTube (hopefully the link works)...

Or search for 50 Bixby Voice Commands...

Enjoy

Regarding Bixby...... Is there a way to output the audio to Bluetooth speaker instead of the phone mic?

For example when I'm in my car and my phone is connected to Bluetooth and whenever I launch Bixby, the audio doesn't go through the Bluetooth speakers in my car like with Google Assistant.

Can this be changed in the Bixby settings somewhere? Thanks

I agree, sometimes when they're a little slow on the uptake you gotta beat that booty with a stick ;-)

So yesterday I asked Bixby to set a reminder for me. I didn’t even realize I didn’t get it. Later I asked for it to send a text message to my husband and it did. So today I asked for another reminder and guess what I didn’t get the reminder again. Also what good is Bixby if you can’t use it when your phone is locked. My phone automatically locks after a certain amount of time of none use.

And I’m still not finding a way to add specific tones to individual contacts for text messages. I had that option on my note 5 and so far not finding it on the note 9. Yesterday my battery life wasn’t as good as the day before and today it’s even less. Something must be chewing up my battery LOL. So far my note 5 had better battery life but I was chalking it up to all the different changes I need to make on the note 9...now I’m not so sure. Maybe from Bixby?

Bixby is the best!

So why not offer some tips to help out people that are not having good luck so far LOL. Like why did I not get two different reminders that were verified?

 

[EMGSM]

For me, Bixby seemed to work better on the Note 8. I don't like it on the Note 9.

Maybe try resetting the phone from scratch. Don't restore it. Also my note 9 is better in battery compared to the 8. And I did use the note 5 for 2 weeks then returned it cause the battery life was bad.

try holding the Bixby button until you have finished talking.

You must’ve got a bad note 5. I’ve had mine over 2 1/2 years and my battery life is awesome much better than I’m getting currently on the note 9. I’m getting buyers regret as I just had my first phone call on my notes 9 and the call quality was horrible. Also I’m getting a six minute or so delay in notifications from Facebook where as my note 5 I got them at the same time on my iPad.
