AI is now cooked-in to using your browser!

Computerworld.com reported “Generative AI is coming to every web browser. Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other browsers are trying to change how we interact with the web, using AI to boil down web articles and make browsing more efficient…” The July 26, 2024 article entitled “How AI will change the way you use your browser” (https://www.computerworld.com/article/2520807/how-ai-will-change-the-way-you-use-your-browser.html) included these comments about Google Chrome:

Among the AI features Google is rolling out in its Chrome browser is a tab organizer to create tab groups based on your open tabs. This is designed to help you manage multiple tasks simultaneously by organizing related tabs together. Chrome is also adding the ability to generate custom themes based on a subject, mood, visual style, and color of your choice. Finally, there’s the “Help me write” feature, which helps users draft content on the web, such as online reviews or queries.

These features are being gradually rolled out, with the tab organizer and AI-generated themes introduced with Chrome version M121 and “Help me write” with version M122.

Currently, these features are available in for Chrome on Macs and Windows PCs in the United States. Users need to enable these features in the “Experimental AI” page in Chrome settings.

Very interesting, but not surprising at all!
