I actually think the #AI #chatbot integration in #internet #browser|s like #Mozilla #Firefox can be a very useful #productivity feature. However, after having tried the current chatbot integration of a few browsers now, I really feel like they are utterly useless: the bot cannot directly access my currently open website, so there's really no need for this "integration". Instead, I could just open the prompt window elsewhere and would have an equivalent experience.
The current use-case for #AI integration in #web #browsers is #website summarization. But I find this use-case a little weak. Most web page content is already quite short and I can usually fly over it in a few seconds to get a rough sense of its value - not much longer than the #chatbot needs. However, where AI starts to get useful is when you can query the website. For example, you have a page with a large table and you want to extract the first and fourth column. How much time would it save?
Well-done #generative #AI can be a powerful data processing engine for natural #language, having such capabilities inside your #web #browser would be a real win.
