This thought entered my mind today as I came across a thread on Quora, and noticed that they have added a feature where ChatGPT would have a go at answering the question.
Today alone I have used a few varying “AI” tools, including one which automatically paraphrases text for you, one which analyses your writing in SwiftKey as you type, and of course the big players like Bard and Bing Chat. It got me thinking about whether these features are actually valuable, and if we would start to see them on this platform.
Why should that be part of lemmy? If you really wanted such feature it should be independent something like plugin into your browser. Same way as you would use plugins for things like spell checking.
I didn’t necessarily mean hard baked into ActivityPub, Lemmy or any particular instance. It could take many forms, some more prevalent and noticeable than others. In a lot of use cases, AI/ML software is quietly ticking away behind the scenes, and you would never know.
What sort of independent plugins do you think we might see? Would you welcome such options, or prefer to reject them?
