LLMs are essentially confident-sounding lying machines with a penchant to occasionally disclose private data or plagiarise existing work. While they do this, they also use vast amounts of energy

Just described most people

Coincidentally, also why I don't care much for most social media content.

Yet another reason why I use Vivaldi over every other chromium fork.

[–] sebinspace@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Still a Chromium fork.

Didn't even think of it as a possibility. WTF would a browser need with LLM?

Webpage authors use LLMs to generate extremely long articles, to make you scroll by ads for longer. You use LLMs in your browser to summarize those articles. The circle of life, or something.

I stumbled upon a website through DDG, and after a long intro, the main section supposedly where the thing I was searching for had "Sorry I can't fulfill your request right now". Basically a fully generated page to match my search with some parasitic seo tactics. The web be chaging. Front page of DDG.

Reminds me of the amazon products titled: “I'm sorry but I cannot fulfill this request it goes against OpenAI use policy,”.

I think we’re way beyond the point of no return. The internet has been ruined for good.

Edge is branding itself "The AI Browser". Chrome has plans to embed LLMs for text input. Opera, the browser which was commandeered from the original Vivaldi team and turned into a crypto/VPN gimmick browser, is of course among the hardest leaning into the LLM trend.
