Interesting. Do you happen to know where it gets its traffic data from? I haven't yet personally found anything nearly as useful as Waze.

Do you know anyone who wants an AI phone? in c/android@lemdro.id

It depends on who you're asking. The AI branding appeals to a lot of the more casual users I know, but it ultimately comes down to the actual functionality being added. It's the first time in a long time that I've been interested in following smartphone developments. What our devices can actually do has been rather stagnant IMO.

I find the term 'fertility' instead of 'birth rate' weird. Plenty of people are capable of having children but are choosing not to for a variety of reasons.
