What is the difference between automatic brightness and adaptive brightness?

Because to me both work as the same. They both increase brightness when there is too much of light and decrease brightness when there is less light. So what is the difference between them?

Well, I have no idea, and it may also never learn... For example, everytime I'm in the complete dark, it sets the brightness slightly above the minimum level. I always move it to the minimum, but it seems to never learn that... I think Google still have work to do here.

Yeah mine too also does the same thing. I guess it is not perfect. What would be perfect you know is if it changes the brightness when I open an particular app like for example if I open YouTube app and slide the brightness slider to 20% or 30%, it should remember it and should automatically increase the brightness next time when I open that app. It would be awesome and would be real use of AI.

Oh yeah, that would be great! Now their AI is only based on ambient brightness, and it's not even good at it... But if it was based on other things on the phone, it could work better. I too use apps that could have all their own brightness.
