Why the hell do I need this in a web browser? Why isn’t it a stand alone app?
If you think of LLMs as a thing to replace search bars then this kind of makes sense.
Just more unnecessary browser bloat.

I haven't tried LLMs myself, but even completely made up garbage would be better than today's search engine results.

There are plenty of stand-alone LLM apps.
