I do, the "go to a website to use AI" era is taking too long, I want full integration. I don't want to use websites or apps, I want to ask for things using human language and get a human-like response. I tire of all these interfaces.

What you describe is, at least from my perspective, entirely different from "full integration" (of AI in browsers). Instead, you want to replace computers entirely, with a voice assistant somewhat like Alexa, backed by SOTA STT, TTS and AI (possibly LLM agents).

  eventually, but that's going to take a decade at this rate... no one has a voice assistant that can actually do anything worthwhile beyond than flip some light switches right now we could get a browser that understands what's on the website and can execute a task for me, that's completely possible... every bill I get shouldn't require me to navigate some labyrinth of some 20 year old's idea of a slick user experience I shouldn't have to learn a new interface for every single thing I do, but that's the reality we're living in... I'd rather AI handle it

  I do all the time, I went to a restaurant the other day and had to ask for a physical menu instead of using an app. I can't get pizza delivered without using an app. When I go to a pharmacy, a person tells me to get my meds by putting my information into an app they used to replace the person at the register. When I go get coffee, my order is in the mix with a dozen people who ordered via an app... I can't get priority despite being literally right there waiting. We've apparently given up on hiring people for various tasks, so at least give me an app that understands what I ask it instead of funneling me through some "user experience" that differs for every single thing I do.

try asking a person?

  society has clearly moved on beyond "pay a person to do it" so if I can talk to something that can understand language well enough to do tasks on my behalf that's what I have to take
