    So it’s entirely optional, you only encounter it by interacting with the browser in an atypical way, and the thing it does is a thing that AI is actually pretty decent at (summarizing text)? Sounds like they couldn’t stop themselves from joining the dick hammering bandwagon, but decided not to hit it too hard.

      entirely optional

      No, it’s on by default, it has access to everything you’re browsing and doing fuck knows what with it, and you need to know that it is doing it and unless you’ve read it somewhere you don’t know that it’s there.

      thing that AI is actually pretty decent at (summarizing text)

      That’s so not true it’s not even funny.

      I mean yeah, it could be worse, everything could be worse. Still, not good, not good at all.

      Holding my click on a volume slider triggered the feature so it quickly became really annoying

      *yet

      The new CEO is an AI True Believer, and I don’t doubt this will last.

      They’ll remove the options to turn it off, and make it full of the AI features, with no opt-out or opt-in
