Why does the existance of an AI chat box website mean a browser must do more than take you to that website?

The forceful inclusion of LLMs in places that have no value are simultaneously ubiquitous and obnoxious.

Because the chatbox can't access other websites, doing its work there. That's what integration is all about, to connect parts.

"why do I have to go and fill with copy paste that form or navigate through that page to do $something if that AI browser can do it for me?"

And in that scenario, there is a GIGANTIC need for a user-first, privacy-respecting browser using ideally local models (in a few years, when HW is ready)

Again: ???????

You people need to be forced to use your product in the exact form your product is presented to end users. With the exact frequency it's presented to end users. In all the wrong places as it is presented to end users.

Maybe then you'll understand why shoving AI in every conceivable crevice is incredibly obnoxious and distracting and, most importantly, not useful.

Shoving an AI agent in every website is distracting and not that useful. Shoving an AI agent in every app is distracting as well.

Having one global AI agent per operating system or browser (where most of the digital life happens, in the case of desktop browsers), for the people that want to have an AI agent, it's probably going to be useful, if well implemented.

OS might make sense, but the browser level is a weird middle space for it.

		I know, but at the end of the day most people nowadays do the vast majority of their job in a browser, and there is already a well defined API to manage its content. Also browsers are coming there faster and at some point it will become what people expect, rather what's most optimal.
