I’ve been looking at browsers that come with built-in AI assistants, and while the idea itself is appealing, I don’t want to leave the browser I already use. So I turned to the AI browser extensions.
I’m a curious person, but also a lazy one. Sometimes I find myself seeking answers to random questions, like “how heat propagates through space”, and I often don’t want to google it or switch context to a separate AI chat tool.
Because of that, the idea of an assistant that is always at hand and doesn’t force a big context switch feels like a good fit for me.
But I wonder, what would motivate you to use an AI browser assistant? And on the other hand, what would make you avoid such a tool entirely?
After I finally found it (by myself), I thought: ok, I am this stubborn fool who searched for a quick self-recognition after completing a “difficult” task but how many are there like me?
I think most of the folks would ask ChatGPT or their browser assistant to help them.
Is it the websites and docs that are made poorly or are we are getting dumber with all the noise surrounding us and AI at hand?
Curious to have your opinion.
