I don't see why they would ever package GPT2 (the bigger model) in the browser. Speech to text has higher chances though, that's an interesting idea, as they already package text to speech too.

To be honest, I expect that in 10 years people will regularly use these sorts of text generation tools in the way text prediction and thesauruses and grammar checkers and spellcheckers are used today but for bigger blocks of text. I can't really see why not anyway, as more things are in the browser it makes sense to me to integrate the ability to "AI check" your text like a grammar or spell checker to improve your writing along some dimensions that you like. It's not honest, but in kind of the same way that a spellchecker isn't honest and since it's going to be possible anyway I don't see what extra harm it causes to make it accessible for everyone so that we can both actually see an upside and also begin to recognize that text we read is at this point likely to be at least partially AI generated and potentially factually incorrect. Even better if things like Firefox reader mode, one of my favorite tools, can also do text summarization. Just imagine the adversarial interaction between a tool designed to generate confident sounding fluff and one to summarize confident sounding fluff. Honestly it seems like a likely inevitable future path. It may as well be part of the browser where it stands a better chance of keeping people's long term attention on the ease of using these tools. Spammers will be able to do it, fake journalists and such will be able to do it, better if we can do it too so that at least we are aware of the potential abuse.

  We need much better models in browsers. The main reason is to pass everything through the language model and get polite and helpful responses. You never have to see Google, the website or the ads ever again if you don't want to. The QA model should be able to detect most undesirable parts - spam, ads, fakes, factually incorrect data. Something like chatGPT running locally. This is important for privacy. If we run the model, we have a safe creative space. If they run the model, they get everything spilled out.
