MODERATORS
The title is misleading. In nowhere the article say the Settings app will be removed, but an AI that will tweak system settimg based on usage patterns.
I guess it like: I have my brightness set at zero at 22:00, but sometimes I'm still using my phone and it dim suddenly which is a bit frustrating. This AI will learn that not to turn down the brightness when I'm using it, and wait until some other events happened then trigger the dimming. (Auto brightness doesn't goes all the way down that Tasker can do.)
I don't want that though. I'd rather have schedules and toggles than an AI.
While the title is misleading, its worse than what you say. They want this to apply to all settings, so it'd be a pain to have to toggle settings back to what you want every time it changes them.
They have(had?) a setting that prevents screen dimming when you are looking at the screen.
There is no value in AI being used as you describe, typical user habit learning that has been a thing for years can do that. Using AI because you can use AI is not valuable to users.
