Frankly, the AI text selection feature is problematic. For instance, when selecting text, it sometimes unnecessarily crops the content instead of allowing selection of the text and surrounding elements, or an entire paragraph for image sharing. This is undesirable because sharing often requires contextual elements, but the AI's forced text selection prevents resizing and necessitates restarting from scratch.
This Quran page exemplifies a usability issue. My intention was to share a portion as an image, but the AI selection tool interfered, necessitating a full screenshot. I needed to highlight or underline specific text without cropping, yet the AI consistently selected text regardless of my selection. Conversely, the One UI 5 and 6 smart select functionality allowed for text selection or detection, offering user choice. The AI, however, assumes text selection, which is undesirable when the goal is annotation or similar actions rather than text cropping.
The current AI selection functionality represents a step backward and is superfluous; reverting to the non-AI version, which effectively detects text and allows for straightforward copying, would be preferable. AI does not always accurately interpret user intent. For instance, image cropping, while seemingly straightforward in its objective of subject selection, presents complexities that the AI struggles to manage effectively.
As illustrated in the second image, the AI is forcibly selecting text, which is undesirable even with intentional user selection. Due to a language barrier, the selection was incomplete, failing to capture the intended portion for quick sharing with highlighting or circling. Therefore, please rectify this AI selection interference. Where this T button give us the ability to deselect the T and let us to it the old classic smart select way. Like I stated I want to select only a small portion no the enite line or page and with AI getting in the way it thinks it knows and knowing AI can't always get your preference right their should atleast be an opition to resize to personal preferences.
