Planning for a non-AI future... (self.degoogle)

I see it coming, in a very short time every Android and iOS phone will come with AI built-in and so intertwined in the phone that it'll be impossible to remove. I would like to investigate alternatives. I do have a few requirements--

  • Can run on ATT network (USA).

  • WiFi hotspot is a feature.

  • I need Ring Central for work. Therefore I would need to have some way of using Android apps, even if within a Linux or other system.

Within those confines, what are the most promising options?
