Chrome is adding `window.ai` – a Gemini Nano AI model right inside the browser

What a needlessly hostile and cynical blog post. I also can't relate to their appraisal of copilot. It's been an incredible productivity booster for me in how it removes so much cognitive load that's tangential to the problem I'm solving. It mostly completes the same line/s I was about to type, sometimes even pointing out an error in my code when the output is odd. It's also awesome when it spits out 20+ lines unexpectedly that do exactly what I was about to do, taking only a brief moment of code review by me to verify.

If Copilot is so great, why does your employer even need you? Replacing you with Copilot would be more capital-efficient.

Funny, that's been pretty much the opposite of my experience with Copilot (or any other LLM-based code assistant). It constantly spits out lines that are similar to what I was planning to write, but are subtly wrong in ways that take me more time to figure out and fix than it would have to just write it myself in the first place.

It's handy if I want a snippet of example code that I could've just found on Stackoverflow, but not useful for anything I actually have to think about.

What language? It's been great for me in C#, Java, JS/HTML/CSS/etc, and xml configs where it can easily learn from all the surrounding boilerplate.
