AI massively empowers people who are incapable of anything except bikeshedding. It itself is very likely to be a bikeshed (but there are legitimate uses), and it also gives them to power to drone on until they overpower any opposition to their useless ideas.

Everything is increasingly expected to gain bikesheds.

Can't wait for the CVEs.

>> people who are incapable of anything except bikeshedding

The amount of insulting language directed at people who actually have an open mind about AI and AI tooling is frustrating. Can you all just please address the merits of the topic of the post instead of making every AI-related post on HN an excuse to vent about your own particular worldview and insult people who don't necessarily agree?

Platform support for AI has as much place in a browser as it does in Notepad. This isn't about being open-minded at all. I have written multiple MCPs, I use it daily, I am not in the crowd who "don't have an open mind." This outright non-feature is a significant source of issues, least of which is fingerprinting.

Make an AI browser extension. Done.

Shoving AI into anything where it can go is not having an open mind about things, it's nothing more shoving AI into anything where it can go.

On the inverse, can you provide a single reason why this API should exist which is isn't something that obviously erupted from an LLM? Again:

God help people if they have to copy their prompt from ChatGPT to Claude.
