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.

Yeah, I've noticed a strange subset of companies who are eager to add the "big new thing" to their products every once in a while, no matter what the thing is or how it's relevant to their main business. While I haven't paid attention to Brave much, I've seen some other companies jumping on AI just after hopping off the NFT/Crypto train from a year or two ago - whenever I see that, it's almost guaranteed that they don't actually care about AI or have any experts working on it, but just want to seem all cool and up-to-date.

"But it's opt in! Just! don't use it!" --every Brave stan, ever

(assumption) because their product is not appealing to a wide audience. the result? "let's add this feature to get [X hyped tech] users"

I think it's brave
