Am engineer. Know zero professional people in the engineering community who use AI browsers, and very few who even touch AI for anything aside from docs or stats.
In my personal life I know zero people who use these browsers. I think this is just panic from the higher ups at Mozilla who have no idea what in the fuck the company should be doing or is about, even.
Start making tools to give to people to combat this bullshit from the EU. Build a USABLE and decentralized chat app that people can actually use FFS. Build something like Proton and ACTUALLY BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT.
Others have eaten your lunch because of this exact thing. Do better.
Not even translation? That’s probably the biggest browser AI feature.
Similarly, translating from html/QML or js/py/rust is handy.
Its still a pain because even good models like opus are hit or miss. The code still has to be reviewed and adapted. Can save time though.
They are also very useful for mocking up a quick proof of concept.
Is X doable? Will Y potentially solve the problems that my clients need me to solve? mock it up in two seconds with a few prompts and a language model and you don't have to take a stroll down a garden path.
The actual work I still have to do but that's why I'm paid to do it.
