I switched to Brave. Slowly trying to get the number of Google products I use down to zero.

Re: Chrome experimental AI features
#82Kind of amazing how unable to deliver Google seems to be here. Looking at Arc, a new player, and the kind of AI features they came up with, this here looks more like features developed by McKinsey rather than by someone with domain knowledge.

#83The only "AI feature" I use in Chrome is the live caption one for French (which requires Chrome Canary). I use it to get automatic live caption while listening to French podcast since I'm learning the language. It's buggy as hell though, so if anyone has a suggestion on a replacement that would be much appreciated!

#85Anyone else think the whole idea of "tab management" tools is crazy? The way to manage tabs is to close them.

#87I wonder if this "Help me write" will give different suggestions from the Google Docs "Help me write" feature, or from the dozens of other help-me-write features that are cropping up these days within text-oriented webapps (e.g. Notion).

You haven't tried what would only be called science fiction 4 years ago but are tired of it? The hype machine is grating, but do try a Gen AI model. I use it for code, for ideation, for various NLP tasks. It's at the very least moderately useful in various tasks, and extremely useful in some. edit: tone
I get what it does, I've seen demos and it is no doubt impressive, but I have no personal use and don't see the point of giving them any data. I'm not limited in my current workflow and prefer official docs over the LLM interpretation of those same docs. The real satire are all the comments on any problem asking "have you tried GPT", more annoying than the Rust community. What do you use it for that you think would b…
One example for which I use ChatGPT is tip of the tongue. I can't remember a word, but I can describe it in other ways. Google doesn't catch on those keywords, ChatGPT does.
It's also pretty good for generating pointers for a complex solution. Like I try to figure out something in the non-JPA old version of EclipseLink, so I ask ChatGPT. The generated code is very often wrong, but it often points me into a right direction.

#89Here are some better ideas from the top of my head: - summarise an article - find information on a given topic (free-form input text) - full voice control ("click that link", "read that article", "find this") - auto-submit a captcha
1. This is actually a feature on Pixel through the assistant [0], surprised it's not on Chrome itself 2. That doesn't really seem like a Chrome feature? Belongs more on Bard. 3. That seems like a Google Assistant feature too, some of that actually may work on a pixel phone, though might be nice to have on desktop too. 4. Will never happen. Google themselves have a captcha product so defeats the point. [0] https://sup…
I think for #2, they meant like AI-powered control-F / find in page.
Which is actually the first non-novelty AI tool I've heard someone pitch that actually sounded like a good idea. Way more visible failure mode than summarizing.

> "auto-submit a captcha" we have come full circle
well, they're too hard for me to solve on my own
When I am prompted to 'try again' with a new 3x3 of low-res images I often wonder if there was a bit of 'crosswalk' I missed in one, or if this is just how they get me to annotate another set for 'bicycles' for free.
