Despite the usefulness of an AI-powered eraser, the move is seen as a questionable use of R&D resources given that Google already offers a similar feature across iOS and Android devices. The AI Eraser appears to be OnePlus's attempt to make its mark in the smartphone industry. The feature will be rolled out to certain OnePlus devices this month, but it will not be available on the R12-D12.
Key takeaways:
- OnePlus has developed its own mobile artificial intelligence tool called AI Eraser, which is not a rebadged version of Google’s Magic Eraser.
- The AI Eraser is the result of a substantial R&D investment from OnePlus and has been trained on a vast dataset to comprehend complex scenes and substitute unwanted objects with contextually appropriate elements.
- Despite the usefulness of an AI-powered eraser, the article suggests that OnePlus's resources could have been better used to create something that differentiates itself from existing properties.
- AI Eraser is rolling out to OnePlus devices this month, starting with OnePlus 12, OnePlus 12R, OnePlus 11, OnePlus Open and OnePlus Nord CE 4, but it will not be coming to the R12-D12.
