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

Today I finally clicked on that "Create theme with AI" on chrome's default page. I'm really having a hard time trying to differentiate it with selecting any random theme.

At this point I'm going to create an image generator that's just an api to return random images from pixabay. pix.ai (opensource of course)

So many AI applications right now are just buzzword plays like that, burning hundreds of watts and seconds of latency on features that are already solved better and cheaper with traditional programs.

But lots of both stakeholders and users currently value the "magic" itself over anything practical.

Internet has been already like genAI for decades. Need a picture? Prompt in the Google Image search a few keywords. There are billions of human made images to choose from. Need to find information about something? Again prompt the search engine, or use Wikipedia directly, it's more up to date than LLMs.

Need personalized response? Post on a forum, real humans will respond, better than GPT. Need help with coding? Stack overflow and Github Issues.

We already had a kind of manual-AI for 25 years. That is why I don't think the impact shock of AI will be as great as it is rumored to be. Various efficiencies of having access to an internet-brain have already been used by society. Even in art, the situation is that a new work competes with decades of history, millions of free works one click away, better than AI outputs, no weird artifacts and giveaways.
