Fallacies

The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Samsung's AI efforts may be an indicator of smartphone features to come. This is not a valid argument as it relies on speculation and the potential future success of Samsung's AI technology. Additionally, the author makes a false dilemma by suggesting that upgrading from any phone older than the S23 is necessary for accessing built-in generative AI features. This statement ignores other options available in the market such as smartphones with similar features at lower price points or using third-party apps to achieve these capabilities. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that Samsung's low-light photography is not as good as other flagships, which may be subjective and exaggerated.
