I wouldn't be upset if it wasn't bullshit every. damn. time.

Like sure, when Linkwarden auto-tags my bookmarks, that's fine. Who cares if it uses an LLM under the hood.

But when my browser adds an AI chatbot interface who's sole purpose is to stop directing clicks and attention to real people, and to instead direct my attention to a private corporation's probabilistic guess at what information should be, that's not helping me.

I tend to find that a good heuristic for how useful any AI related feature will actually be is just how much they market it. The more they claim it will help you, the more likely it is to be crap. Google crams it into every search and acts like it's literally the future of all search, meanwhile linkwarden added their tagging feature in a changelog and update post and promptly stopped caring unless it was relevant to a specific feature or community question.

Guess which one is more useful to me. I'm sure it's really difficult to tell.

Duckduck go has been completely fucked by this.

Look up jessie combs (yes, yes i know, sic) and then click on image search.

I had no idea Diddy broke running records. That's cray.

Huh? All I see pics of there are the Combs twins whose mom died of pneumonia while being completely healthy according to her other ex

In Firefox that "AI chatbot interface" is basically just a bookmark in a sidebar, when I last checked it out

I'm genuinely dreading the day that Google takes away the search results and just replies with the AI prompt.

I know it's on the horizon, as soon as they can figure out how to get ad revenue from it properly.
