In clearly-not-at-all-coincidental-news, Chrome performed an update this evening when I sat down to my gaming PC, and then promptly informed me that it now has AI built-in. (sigh...)
AI have been in chrome from a while now, so not sure what they mean, try Zen, unless you really need a Chromium based browser
 
Will give it a try. But don't think I will use it as my primary browser as I am very satisfied with Safari.

Wow, people here are so anti-AI lol. Come on everyone it won’t kill you. Well… ok, it might, but it’s worth it!
No... totally. There's no chance at all that life imitates art. That's (ahem) not really a thing... right?

But more seriously... speaking for myself at least, I'd say that my negative feelings aren't so much directed at AI per se, but rather, at the way marketing teams mislead consumers by dubbing any and every technology even vaguely similar to the classical description of AI as such, even when the technology in question has no actual path to achieving the "dream" of true AI -- which has more recently been re-dubbed "AGI" so that marketers can do as they please with the original term. (I've commented on this before.)

Mind you, I do indeed use "AI" (aka LLM searches and the like) to inform myself about things, when it's the most expedient tool at hand; I just don't see nearly as much promise in the LLM path as the hype would have you believe.

I find tools like Copilot invaluable when I’m working. Especially when I’m working on an issue in our data centre or when trying to plan something out. As everything is so integrated with Microsoft 365 it’s so impressive with what it can do. So it’s absolutely worth the license cost and an invaluable tool to me.

I quite like Gemini as well and Chat GPT. The stuff Gemini can do with images for free for example is very impressive.

I have also been impressed with the AI tools in Photoshop but also find it infuriating when it keeps falsely detecting “inappropriate or copyrighted content” in some of my images. It seems to have been tuned in such an over the top way that it refuses to do a lot of what I want. And it keeps getting worse.

I bet: if „AI companies“ were to name their technologies using technical terms, their share price would fall by 90%.

Markov Chain is pretty boring, Tensors would likely make people feel stressed (they do me). Softmax would likely been seen as pornographic in the UK.

But; Transformer is a pretty good name. Makes one think of it being used to power Killer Robots and stuff.

It is not so much the AI that is the problem, well it is to some extent, uses far too much energy and water for people to do silly things.
The main problem is the people behind most of it and what they can do with it. Also, is it really AI? All it is doing is pinching ideas and stuff from other people, which is another reason I don't like it.

The thing is I have no need for it.
