Obviously Wikipedia is not a definitive or 100% accurate source but this sounds like a genuinely positive use of AI to combat misinformation. The people it really needs to reach likely won't use it but it's still a good idea.
Chrome extension only?
They're a non-profit and they're aiming for the largest possible market segment.
For now. Like I said, they're gauging interest in it for now, and it's currently basically a prototype. So kinda ironically, to support free knowledge, we've gotta inconvene (the proper verb is apparently "inconvenience"? sorry that's just too weird) and grovel to Google a bit. Someone can probably write a bs marketing passage about Google's auspices to supplant free knowledge through providing accessibility to a supernation of usuremongers.
Firefox conversion by-hand doesn't seem like it'll be that hard either, thanks to Manifest v3, which removed the stupid deviation from the standard of Chrome using callbacks instead of promises like everyone else does.
"Inconvenience" would be the verb for causing an inconvenience. So in the sentence you're going for, "inconvene" would have to be replaced with the passive "be inconvenienced" ("we've gotta be inconvenienced and grovel to google a bit"). I don't believe we have a separate word for "endure an inconvenience", although it seems like the kind of thing some languages might have a single word for. Stylistically I'd probably restructure the sentence to "we've gotta put up with the inconvenience" rather than just using the passive verb, but yeah.
I think you'd most often see this verb in the stock phrase "Sorry to inconvenience you".
Well, I was looking for something along the lines of "inconvene ourselves". Thanks for the insight and writeup for a random internet ~~book~~person.
These work perfectly on any chromium browser like Brave fyi.
Off topic, but has anyone noticed Wikipedia's starting to feel outdated in places? Way too often there's something that's "as of 2014".
There's stuff from before 1990. You can help fix it.
Can you? I was under the impression it's gotten harder and harder to get things approved.
Edit: Huh, I guess that's just whole new articles.
