I don't care. I don't want AI in my browser.

Nice for you, fuck blind people.

Blind people shouldn't need to give up their privacy to Microsoft and Google to have a web page read to them.

Let me just quote the top of this thread.

people please actually read the article not the headline; this is literally about accessibility improvements for blind and visually impaired people for generating alt text inside of documents and pdfs.

It doesn't just read the page to them, which is a solved problem, it generates descriptions when they're missing, making the web more accessible.

Ai ScArY!¡! And you haven't ever used google translate?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

no. why the hell would I use google spyware crap?

Just curious, how do you translate things? I know Mozilla recently did some local translation stuff in-browser, but what about before? Is there a good competitor to Google Translate?

Some people care about privacy.
