Google Chrome for Mac Gets Generative AI Features

[MacRumors]

Google today announced plans to add experimental generative AI features to the latest version of Chrome for Mac (M121), helping users organize tabs, create themes, and draft content.

The Tab Organizer is able to suggest and create tab groups based on the tabs that are open, an option that can be accessed by right-clicking on a tab and choosing the Organize Similar Tabs option.

With a text-to-image diffusion model, Chrome users can generate custom themes based on a subject, mood, visual style, and color. The "Create with AI" theme option is available under the Customize Chrome side panel.

When writing something on the web, such as on a forum, Chrome will be able to help users generate content. The feature will let users right-click in any text box or field to access a "Help me write" option.

The Tab Organizer and theme creator will be coming to U.S. Chrome users over the next few days, while the writing assistant will be available in next month's Chrome update. The experimental features can be enabled in the Settings section of Chrome by clicking on the three-dot menu and navigating to the Experimental AI page.

Ok, time to uninstall Chrome

 

[icanhazmac]

Still will never install it.

And Safari is still stuck in the Stone Age

I wonder if it'll actually be any good... Google always seems to be constantly behind on AI when compared to Microsoft/OpenAI. 🤔

(perhaps unsurprising if all the rumors about how disorganized their push into generative AI has been)

When will we get AI on toilet paper?

Actually would be useful. Let us know if we're good or need to grab another piece.

 

[Andres Cantu]

It may be just me, but I’m getting tired of seeing AI tagged into anything and everything.

I’m sure toilets with AI will be a thing soon 😆

Thanks but I'd rather use Edge. Far Better AI and compatibility with Chrome Extensions.

In fact the Copilot App for iPadOS also works on Mac so you may not even need a separate browser for AI.

Oh gods why do people want computers to write for them. Writing is one of the basic forms of human expression! Soon you'll be reading forum posts and such and you won't even be sure a person wrote it.

And Safari is still stuck in the Stone Age

If stone age means no AI in Safari, then I'm happy to be there.

If I need generative AI to help me write a forum post, I clearly don't need to be posting anything.

I mean, if I don't have the thought in my mind why the **** would I be posting something?

what do you mean by "soon"? been going on for quite some time ...

While Safari keeps having some bugs and memory leak. Nice.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if Chrome on Mac supports the 120 Hz ProMotion on the modern MBPs? I think I tried it a while back and the scrolling was not as smooth as Safari.

Ok, so you're leaving Apple when iPhone 16 gets AIGC/LLM AI capabilities this year, right?

 

[Kylo83]

I wish chrome had full pro motion support its not as smooth scrolling than safari but safari is allowing with bugs, I wish chrome also had compact url so puts tabs in url space

I'll be disabling it, unless it processes locally.

 

[MagMan1979]

Google seems to be amazing at one thing... Putting **** into their already horrible software to continuously remind me why I won't let ANY Google garbage near my Apple gear! Thanks for the reminder Google, I'm glad to be Safari-exclusive with FireFox as my backup!

Your comment reminds me of this...

Say what you want about Chrome but this sounds genuinely useful

No, but I might not upgrade phone and/or OS…

I did not use AI to generate the typical discussion going on within the walls of Google for the past 12 months:

Product Management: "AI! AI! We need to incorporate AI into our product!"
Engineers: "Ummm...sure. But what is the use case?"
Product Management: "It doesn't matter. We need to say we're using AI! Give me something...anything!"
Engineers: "Okkkayyyy....so like, a chat interface to discuss and refine search results for content on a page?"
Product Management: "No, that would mean interacting with the Search team, and we all know that integrating with Other Google Services (OGS) doesn't lead to promotion. We have to invent something entirely in-house, Services Hosted Internally by the Team (****). **** always floats to the top at Google!"
Unreliable Brown-nosing Engineer that the rest of the team has come to ignore but is hell-bent on moving into management: "Lets use AI to completely replace the user!"
Product Management: "GENIUS!"

"Help me write" is the future of online forum wars. Next is automated monitoring and posting. Just give me a report of who you flamed for me while I slept so I have the option to edit etc.
