And my love for Safari goes up a little more.

Are you expecting Apple to not add AI right in their own browser, after their 1 hour "we also do AI" presentation this month ?

Did you see what Apple is doing to Safari? https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/04/30/apple-to-unveil-a...

There was already talk of using it in Safari to allow users to create custom filters to persistently block portions of a given website.

Sort of like using ChatGPT to help figure out how to use FFmpeg to accomplish a task from the command prompt, but used to create the equivalent of greasemonkey scripts.

None of those features involve proprietary web APIs.

In my mind there is a big difference between the browser using it for features and letting any random website burn my electricity on a new scale for crap I never agreed to.

I’m ok with Apple doing it. I chose Apple.

I don’t want the API. I don’t want random websites burning my battery on AI nonsense I never asked for to make the ads on page more engaging or some other nonsense.
