I'm pretty sure that with time, they will be forced to let users choose the model. Just like it happened with the search engine...

  Wouldn't this require Chrome to download models on the fly or pre-package multiple models? That doesn't really seem possible (mobile data connection) or convenient (Chrome binary size, disk space) for the user.

    I don’t think you’d need to download on the fly. You can imagine models being installed like extensions where chrome comes with Gemini installed by default. Then have the API allow for falling back to the default (Gemini) or throwing an error when no model is available. I’d contend that this would be a better API design because the user can choose to remove all models to save space on devices where AI is not needed (ex: kiosk).

  Only that it will take 5-10y to be regulated, until they will have to pay a measly fine, and let users choose. But then we will have the same game as with GDPR conformity now, companies left and right acting as if they just misunderstood the "new" rules and are still learning how this big mystery is to be understood, until a judge tells them to cut the crap. Then we will have the big masses, that will not care and feed all kinds of data into this AI thing, even without asking people it concerns for consent. Oh and then of course Google will claim, that it is all the bad users doing that, and that it is so difficult to monitor and prevent.
