Isn't this the Chinese ai ? Not sure I want to install that on my phone. Could take up valuable space from all the other chinese spyware and bloatware on there.

Your phone CPU will be pegged at 100% as the new chinese spyware spies on all your old chinese spyware and vice-versa. It'll be chinese spyware all the way down.
