That doesn’t address the opportunity cost. Spending time on this means not spending time on something else. There are other optional things and user choices they could work on instead. This is always the case when doing anything, but AI is very far down the list of things I think are worth paying the costs for.
Well, I can’t judge it for everyone personally of course. And I don’t like AI conceptually. But fucking hell if not every single person is constantly interacting with the common chat LLMs. To the point where they actually use Edge because it has it fully integrated. So from a browser-maker perspective, I kinda get it. The users at large seem to have decided that constantly asking an LLM first is “the future”, much as that sucks.
I still don’t like it personally, but so long as it’s default-off, eh, sure. Do it for all the people who care, which frankly seem to be the overwhelming majority most days.
