I don't understand why Google, Brave, or Mozilla are not building this. This already exists in a centralized form like X's timeline for posts, but it could exist for the entire web. From a business standpoint, being able to show ads on startup or after just a click, is less friction than requiring someone to have something in mind they want to search and type it.

Companies are already doing this so you can chat with the "author": https://www.wired.com/story/why-read-books-when-you-can-use-...

Isn’t this just a chrome extension that sends data back and forth with chat gpt token?

A hybrid of Strong (the lifting app) and ChatGPT where the model has access to my workouts, can suggest improvements, and coach me. I mainly just want to be able to chat with the model knowing it has detailed context for each of my workouts (down to the time in between each set).

Strong really transformed my gym progression, I feel like its autopilot for the gym. BUT I have 4x routines I rotate through (I'll often switch it up based on equipment availability), but I'm sure an integrated AI coach could optimize.

This kind of exists in the form of ChatGPT Pulse. It uses your ChatGPT history rather than your browser history, but that's probably just as good a source for people interested in using it (e.g. people who use ChatGPT enough to want it to recommend things to them.) https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-pulse/

Most of the items in this list fall prey to it, but it is maybe best exemplified by this one:

> A writing app that lets you “request a critique” from a bunch of famous writers. What would Hemingway say about this blog post? What did he find confusing? What did he like?

Any app that ever claimed to tell you what "Hemingway would say about this blog post" would evidently be lying — it'd be giving you what that specific AI model generates in response to such a prompt. 100 models would give you 100 answers, and none of them could claim to actually "say what Hemingway would've said". It's not as if Hemingway's entire personality and outlooks are losslessly encoded into the few hundreds of thousands of words of writing/speech transcripts we have from him, and can be reconstructed by a sufficiently beefy LLM.

So in effect it becomes an exercise of "can you fool the human into thinking this is a plausible thing Hemingway would've said".

The reason why you would care to hear Hemingway's thought on your writing, or Steve Jobs' thoughts on your UI design, is precisely because they are the flesh-and-bone, embodied versions of themselves. Anything else is like trying to eat a picture of a sandwich to satisfy your hunger.

There's something unsettling that so many people cannot seem to cut clearly through this illusion.
