The secret to Bixby is the system actually writes it's own code. In contrast to any other similar system, It is a profound and monumental giant leap forward.
Dynamically Evolving Cognitive Architecture
The structure of the Voice First world is held together by Intelligent Agents. Intelligent Agents use AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) to decode volition and intent from an analyzed phrase or sentence. The AI in most current generation systems like Siri, Echo and Cortana focuses on speaker independent word recognition and to some extent the intent of predefined words or phrases that have a hard coded connection to a domain expertise.
Bixby uses a patented [1] exponential self learning system as opposed to the linear programed systems currently used by systems like Siri, Echo and Cortana. What this means is that the technology in use by Bixby is orders of magnitude more powerful because Bixby's operational software requires just a few lines of seed code to establish the domain [2], ontology [3] and taxonomy [4] to operate on a word or phrase.
In the old paradigm each task or skill in Siri, Echo and Cortana needed to be hard coded by the developer and siloed in to itself, with little connection to the entire custom lexicon of domains custom programmed. This means that these systems are limited to how fast and how large they can scale. Ultimately each silo can contact though related ontologies and taxonomies but it is highly inefficient. At some point the lexicon of words and phrases will become a very large task to maintain and update. Bixby solves this rather large problem with simplicity for both the system and the developer.

Bixby's team calls this new paradigm the "Dynamically evolving cognitive architecture system". There is limited public information on the system and I can not address any private information I may have access to. However the patent, "Dynamically evolving cognitive architecture system based on third-party developers" [5] published on December 24th, 2014 offers an incredible insight on the future.
Bixby Has Built An Easy Way For Developers To Build
This Bixby patent is a landmark advance for Intelligent Agents and the resulting Voice First devices and uses case that will be developed on the platform. The process for adding new domain experience is a simple process in the developer app.
To define a new intent, the domain is established by programing a horizontal flow chart that helps to define ontology and taxonomy with in the entire system. The results are lines of code that will forever be dynamically changing and connecting as more domains of intent are established. Bixby literally programs itself. This is process is related to self modifying code that has been around since the 1960s from assembly language to Cobol. However the process that Bixby uses is radically more advanced.
The limitations we have all come to know with Siri, Echo and Cortana and the Chat Bots released with Facebook M are tied to the limitations of extending new intent domains and connecting new ontologies and taxonomies. Not only does each intent domain need to be programed, from decoding a word or phrase, but these silos of intents need to some how connect when more complex sentences are created. For example:
"(Siri-Alexa) I want to pick up a Pizza on the way to my girl friend's house and I would like to find a perfect wine to pick up along the way. Also would like to bring her flowers."
Currently Siri and Alexa could not understand the intent of this paragraph, nor could it easy connect to the six domains and many ontologies to produce a useful result. Bixby could learn this in a few minutes and constantly connect with new intent domains by expanding the ontological references each domain represents.
Another feature of Bixby will be the user profile that defines:
Conversational intent-Understands What You Say :
– Location context
– Time context
– Task context
– Dialog context
Understands You
- Learns and acts on personal information:
– Who are your friends
– Where do you live
– What is your age
– What do you like
You will set privacy fences around any information that Bixby learns and you will be able to choose to allow the system to share this data with any intent domain. Of course security and privacy will always be an issue with Intelligent Agents and Bixby is working on a new model that will quickly define what is logically private and potentially shareable with permissions.

I only want one thing, that the bixby button could be re allocated to perform some other functions, like being a camera button for ex.

You can set reminders, alarms, events on your calendar, get jokes, get the news, etc. But, how GA differs from Siri, or whatever, is that it's speech sounds much more natural, and when using it to search the web, more often than not, you get info read aloud to you, instead of the simple web search that you'd get with other assistants.
