The article discusses the presenter's experience exploring Chrome's new AI support features, specifically focusing on a translation API. Although it may not be ready for production or used in other browsers like Safari or Firefox, the presenter finds potential in using these APIs creatively. An interesting use case is highlighted involving fixing typographical errors rather than traditional translation. The presenter developed a demo using Alpine.js to showcase a simple tool for repairing input text, emphasizing the importance of specific generative AI APIs over more generic alternatives.
Last week I gave a presentation on Chrome's new built-in AI support... it's absolutely possible we may never see these in Safari or Firefox.
I've got a best friend who I won't name (although his name rhymes with Mott Moze) and he tends to typo quite a bit.
In my opinion, the Chrome team is really pushing specific GenAI APIs over more generic uses. That's why the docs focus on those specific APIs.
For my demo, I whipped up a quick Alpine.js form that lets you enter your typo-ridden text and then hit a button to try to fix it.
