And so it begins. Chrome is shipping a Prompt API - giving websites access to the browser's built-in LLM. This is the scope creep I wrote about... websites can now pass your page content, inputs and browsing context to an AI baked into the browser itself. https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/iR6R7-nQeHI/m/gb9zDAMqAwAJ?pli=1

    @Waterfox The opening mail by Deepti Bogadi links to a github md page saying "Web developers: strongly positive" โ€” which file links to a github issue with one (1) comment from August. And a blog that doesn't even exist now. That's strongly positive feedback from web developers? What?

  • @Waterfox@mastodon.chrome prompt api : yeah, the architecture allows more aggregation but the progress of ai is diversifying - "intelligence" on people (chrome's prompt api) just forms a marketing profile. existing ai can research and provide online marketing anyway.. its a major step towards "ai run internet"? maybe ai can run the internet without humans having to do leg work coding ๐Ÿ™‚

    @Waterfox I don't get why, despite all the shit Google keeps pulling off, people are still using Chrome..

  • @Waterfox all I want my web browser to do is browse the web and not leak my data to third (or even second) parties. I appreciate that Waterfox does this for me.
