And so begins the phase where we start using AI to avoid having to deal with all the crappy UIs out there directly.

I actually wouldn’t mind that if AI halucinated a little less but at that point you don’t need the crappy standard that is the web ether!

It doesn’t need to have a use case. Use cases are for users and our priorities don’t really rank near the top anymore. It’s mostly cargo cult follow-the-leader product management at this point, so it needs to have the latest buzzwords tagged on like blockchain or machine learning or something-as-a-service so investors will get hyped for it and maybe generate some buzz in the tech industry.

Sounds kinda cool but I can’t think of any situations where I would want to use it.

The moment Mozilla bundles an AI assistant with Firefox is the moment I’m done with the internet.

We don’t need a new separate useless AI assistant in every single browser, please.

Same. I just saw that Opera is really pushing the built in ai stuff too now. Brave makes sense to me because it’s already based around a crypto ponzi and packed to the gills with “web 3” bloat, they just jump on every techbro bandwagon that comes out but yeah if Firefox ever does something like this I give up

Opera was bought by a Chinese company a couple of years ago. So that tracks there too.

They’re already doing that with MDN. Hopefully it doesn’t happen to the browser.
