that just screams "I don't know what this technology is and I am too afraid to use it" to me personally. Don't use it as a source of information if you don't want it to spew hallucinations to the user? There's about a million other uses for LLMs.
- pjerem 2y ago> There's about a million other uses for LLMs. Ok. But in browsers ?
- Closi 2y agoSure, I mean i'm not their product team but surely LLM's could easily complement things like parental controls, autocomplete mail / language assistance (there is mail in the browser), in-browser language translation etc

- KoolKat23 2y agoSemantic search, browser tab sorting are two examples of use cases.
- surfingdino 2y agoHahaha... search is essentially a solved problem if you are literate and work with well-structured data sets. The market for a tab sorting solution is zero.
- KoolKat23 2y agoI didn't say there aren't alternatives. Search datasets still are not really semantic search, and I'd wager many require online search if they required a well structured dataset, or a dumbed down query. You only have to look to the relative popularity of something like Arc browser to determine there is a market for such things.

- KoolKat23 2y agoVivaldi number of users? And yet here we are discussing on their thread.
- surfingdino 2y agoWe are discussing their decision not to put AI into their browser. It's a good decision, because AI is the Star Wars-like arms race (Star Wars from the Reagan era, not the movies) designed to bleed the competition dry of their resources. Microsoft is putting it into everything and bankrolling OpenAI, because they want to hurt Google not because AI is good for anything. Vivaldi made the right choice to stay away from this distraction.
- KoolKat23 2y agoI have no issue with the decision not to use AI, and agree perhaps there's little merit. I'm merely listed potential uses for it in the browser, in response to a question why it would be in a browser.
