Right? I don't need AI BS. I just want a solid browser.

What do you mean, you don't want an opt-out ad tracker?

I kinda get why they (and other companies) have to try AI at the moment though.

It’s not what people claim it is, but it could end up being an essential tool for the modern world, and if they don’t invest in it early their business might end up getting left behind.

We’ve certainly seen companies fall because they’ve not tried to stay on the cutting edge before.

But, but but, it's AI!! It'll solve ~~none~~ all of your problems!

I hate to see AI (I suppose we mean specifically GPTs in this instance) trashed all the time, just because companies use it incorrectly. They shove it in every hole they can to hike the stock price. But it's a great tool, that arguably needs more time in the oven, which has legitimate helpful uses. Especially in the context of a browser.

For example, in Arc Browser I can semantically search the page/article for anything and it will show me the location of the information I need (ever tried to find the recipe itself in an article about the recipe?). I can also do some obvious stuff, like summarize and translate sections, which I could do by copying it into a dedicated service, but it's definitely much more convenient being built-in.
Would be much better if it ran locally off the NPU, but we are not there yet.

Downvotes from the people who believe that all “AI” is an LLM/GPT that must be trained on the collective stolen works of all humanity and requires all of South America’s collective power supply for just a day’s worth of queries

No one is protesting machine learning.

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Yeah, lots of people are.

I still have a retail copy somewhere on a CD. I wonder if it'll even load on a modern OS.

Investors want AI BS that’s why.
