I’m trying to figure out what that means. Like if I were to imagine a wishlist of things AI might do in a browser:
- generate user-scripts to modify styling and perhaps even layouts through natural language.
- Use AI to automatically detect and remove advertisements, nsfw, etc. as desired
- identify spoofed websites and prevent them from opening
- search through browser history by natural language so that you’ll always be able to find that one page where you read that thing
- scan through a massive website (Wikipedia, corporate confluence or sharepoint) to find pages relevant to a natural language search
- identify fake content (lies, veiled advertisements, seo spam, satire)
Okay that’s all I can think of off the top of my head. Those would in theory be nice features to have, although I’d be worried about the ability to reliable deliver.
I also think all of that could be offered as a plugin for a regular browser. So I’m at a loss as to what would make the whole browser AI-centric.
Also I’m only reading the quote here, but I’d they are referring to the original vision of the web, it has nothing to do with any of this shit. But if that’s not the original vision being referred to then never mind.
I’ve already got that without a new browser. I’m good, thanks.
