#4  or my photos were indexed into topical groups via some facial and object recognition by the stupid phone.

Training a neural networks takes a *bleep*load of data and lots and lots of arithmetic. However, once you have the trained model, putting it to use for tasks like image classification (the inference phase) just needs enough compute power to do a bit of matrix multiplication. Nowadays, even little punk-ass processors like you find in phones have some hardware acceleration.

#3  Social order is collapsing because of current politicians. They want to blame it on AI.

Results are the same.

#1  Yesterday, my Android phone downloaded a software upgrade. Didn't seem much at the time, some font/color changes, etc. Irritating. Been about 5 just this month.

Sometime later, a slideshow of my picture gallery began. A 'People and Pets' labeled story line began by showing pictures of me with my dogs. Exclusively dogs, not horses or other people.

So either the entire gallery was uploaded to an AI and streamed back, or my photos were indexed into topical groups via some facial and object recognition by the stupid phone.

With a target catalog for training, a 'strike'/'don't strike' decision AI seems very feasible.
