Google’s Bloody “Easier” Access to AI Mode in Chrome
Alright, strap in because Google’s at it again with their half-baked “innovation.” This time, the geniuses over in Mountain View have decided to make it *easier* — whatever the hell that means — to access their precious “AI Mode” in Chrome for iOS and Android. Apparently, we weren’t already drowning in AI buzzwords, so they thought, “Hey, let’s shove it right in everyone’s faces.”
So now, Chrome on your phone will have a shiny new toggle or some stupid little button that lets you fire up “AI Mode” faster than you can say “privacy nightmare.” It’s supposed to help you magically summarize web pages, rewrite stuff, or come up with “smart” answers — because clearly, reading comprehension is dead and Google’s here to spoon-feed us drivel in digestible, ad-friendly pieces.
The article bangs on about how this makes Chrome “smarter” and “more accessible,” which is a load of marketing bollocks. Translation: they’ve added another bloody layer of AI that’ll keep track of everything you click while pretending to be helpful. Because hell, who *doesn’t* love being monitored by a trillion-dollar ad company every second of their waking life?
So yeah, “AI Mode” is now easier to turn on. Brilliant. Another checkbox on the Great Spreadsheet of Data Harvesting.

Reminds me of the time a user complained their “smart browser” kept predicting all the wrong things. I told them that’s because even artificial intelligence has standards and doesn’t want to work with their level of stupidity. Needless to say, ticket closed, problem solved.
