I really can’t stand their skewed priorities in contrast to the state of Firefox.

    Edge, Opera, and other browsers have a LLM assistant built in. Bard is rolling out to all Google products, so Chrome will too soon.

    Firefox needs something, or they’ll be the only browser that can’t summarize a page for you, or do advanced searches through a long document.

      Does it? Is this really a selling point? I don’t think any layman needs to worry about documents that long and absolutely no one needs to summarize a web page in normal browsing.

      Edit: not that I’m against it or anything, just kinda stumped that this is considered important.

        If all the competition has a useful feature and FireFox doesn’t that will only keep users away from FireFox. The unfortunate reality of today’s world is that people have low attention spans and want an AI to spoon feed them whatever garbage they want.

      i dont fucking want ANY program “summarizing” for me. if i want to know what it says ill read the damn thing like an adult. this ““ai”” cannot be trusted because its nothing more than a big math equation. its cool tech but has no real intelligence.

        its cool tech but has no real intelligence.

        It’s already powering voice assistants for full conversational ability, and being used in humanoid robots to take and execute complex verbal instruction to perform tasks.

        Something that can emulate intelligence that well is going to be expected by the average user.

        I’d rather not waste a few minutes searching for info a LLM can deliver instantly. As an adult, I value my time.

          that still doesnt mean it has any real intelligence. it doesnt understand any of what its saying, only that word a goes next to word b pretty often.

            That’s irrelevant to whether it can:

            1. Automate your job
            2. Get accepted by other people as a regular conversational partner.
            3. Interact with the web.
            4. Create the majority of the media we consume in the future.
            5. Make web browsing more convenient.

            It is relevant to:
