    Sheesh, Opera remember when Opera was the best choice for users with slow internet? Remember the great built-in email client and XMPP clients? Now…this?

    I don’t get what generative ai could add to my browsing experience. How ever I do think it makes a good search engine.

          Google actually pulls results from web pages.

          you know how some smartphone keyboards predict the next word that you’re going to use, and you can form a comprehensible sentence that sometimes even makes sense? that’s what those language models do. they don’t actually search for anything, they just create sequences of words that sound probable.

            It seems that Bing chat bot searches then reads the results and gives you the answer.

            I know it’s basically predictive text but if the prompt contains a relevant info then the predictive text is likely to be the answer you’re looking for so it works well.

          Yeah but you can tell from the context that search results are just a list of random web pages that maybe what Google says is bollocks.

          Google gives you a bunch of results and says “here, look at these”. LLMs confidently tell you things that they may have simply made up and present them as if they’re real.

            Its an infant tech so there’s obviously issues but if you go ask chat gpt how do I play poker you will get a short concise and accurate answer. In my opinion that’s the strength of ai as a search engine. Sometimes I just want an answer to my question and don’t want to dig through multiple webpages all filled with ads and hostile design.

      I’d use some sort of generative “find on page” or “summarize page” where I could have a quick Q/A without needing to read a long article.

    Who gave the approval on the
    “OPE-
    RA
    ONE”

    It’s bad, really bad. If they wanted to have it split they could have at least played with it like this:
    “OP
    ERA
    ONE”
    Make it sound like the new browser is OP and it’s the era of ONE, One Opera. But you know, whatever.

    I already don’t trust a Chinese browser in of itself, so I’m sure as hell not going to trust a Chinese browser with an integrated AI.

    They changed the UI a bit, added 2 useless features and called it a day. Who the hell needs 5 different browsers?

    Am game as long as the AI runs locally, and doesn’t siphon every website I visit to their server.
