AI brain rot continues but now it's reaching unimaginable levels and infecting browser APIs, wow!

Do you have a specific objection to this feature's technical merit or is this a kneejerk to seeing "AI" in the headline?

It’s even a stretch of the popular definition of “brain rot”. Bandwagoning at its finest.

All I have is a tweet stating a new property `ai` is being added to the browser window context. That and a short video with a link to a Vercel app that stops me because I'm not using Chrome.

So no, I don't have much technical objections.
