Did they propose a specific alternative (non-extension) API?
- rafram 6mo agoThere’s one obvious alternative: fetch("https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions", { ... });
- ilaksh 6mo agoRight and that means people have to send their data to an external service. Give it X months (or years??) and people will realize this is actually a privacy/data autonomy issue. It's just dominated right now by the anti-AI/anti-technology sentiment in the west. That will gradually go away as more people use AI and robotics and realize how wrong they were about it.
- koutakun 6mo ago>Right and that means people have to send their data to an external service. Nothing in this proposal claims it has to be a local AI. That just happens to be the implementation by Chrome and Edge (for now at least, I'd imagine Google will eventually start moving this API towards hosted Gemini).
- ilaksh 6mo agoThat's an important aspect of this that should really be part of the discussion on GitHub. But I've been told I'm not qualified to interject so I am not going to bother. I will use WebLLM if I want something like this (with local AI guaranteed).
- aljaz823 6mo agoWhy would they need to?
- jedimastert 6mo agoWhy would they? This is an issue put up on the "standards-position" repo. They requested a position on a proposed standard, and Mozilla gave it.
- madeofpalk 6mo agoNo, that’s not how this process usually happens.
