I am so very tired of every company nonsensically shoehorning "AI" into their software to appease shareholders and investors. Discord shut down their AI chatbot in less than a year -- take notes from that.

It also attracts users. Using fad "tech" terminology makes them feel superior than the rest. They think "Oh I'm a tech expert because I use an AI toaster".
Another good example are "gaming" web browsers. Some people actually think they're better (beyond the looks).
This is a basic marketing strategy. It actually works (just for selling nonsense, of course).

And Safari. But that's hardware locked, so it's not really better - it's just not based on Chromium.
Willdrick@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
If you're on Linux, gnome-web uses the same engine as safari. And it's a mess
Safari is the new ie6
Edit: also blink (used by anything chromium) is based off WebKit (safari)

Safari is the best browser if you're running Mac hardware on battery and care about power usage.
It's just in another League when it comes to optimisation

I generally agree.
Nonetheless, Vivaldi does outclass the clones.

“all the clones are the same except my clone”

What exactly are "all the clones" I know opera gx, and Vivaldi are on this list, but what other 'clones' exist?

Adding ChatGPT to chat apps will save users a lot of copy/pasting, right. South Park perfectly described a use case last year.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I don't mind this at all. My friends already are not interested in anything I say so I might aswell chat with the AI like I already do with chatGPT.

I think this is a easier way to interact with a chatbot than installing an extra app which behaves differently, etc. There are so many features I don't use in software but others do, so why not.
Actually this makes me think if I could use facebooks llama via matrix on element, instead needing to run it on the command line.

Yeah, it's nicely integrated. Also because it's on my phone there is the option to use the voice input mode of the keyboard which is a vibe. Talking with an ai feels different.
