    Great, so now I can tell it "Block all cookie prompts on all sites, disable all javascript, and if what I click on doesnt react as it should because of turned off javascript, run the javascript code behind the element just that one time." ? No? So what is the chatbot actually capable of, telling me what is the weather gonna be tomorrow? Is it also able to tell me what the weather was yesterday?

    My point being that AI chatbot could be incredibly powerful system, if always weren't implemented in the most basic way.

    As if I needed yet another reason to not trust Brave. They keep jumping to each new shiny thing in tech, when they just need to keep to the core mission of a privacy-first browser.

We’ve made sure that user inputs are always submitted anonymously through a reverse-proxy to our inference infrastructure. In this way, Brave can offer an AI experience with unparalleled privacy.

    I wonder what does this tuned version represent?

    If all your friends jumped off a bridge would you jump off too?

    Brave showed me ads the second day that I used it, and frankly im thankful that they showed who they were so quickly. I had been nearly fooled

    Seems pretty off brand honestly. I don’t see how this furthers their role as a trustworthy and privacy focused company.

    reverse-proxy for access to their server - they claim they have no records of individual IP that way
