"As a Chrome user, you'll have received Gemini Nano in the form of a 4GB transfer recently; no permission asked or required. If you remove it, Chrome will re-download it."
"According to Chrome's documentation, to use the prompt API you must 'acknowledge' Google's Generative AI Prohibited Uses Policy. Elements of this policy go beyond law."
"This seems like a bad direction for an API on the web platform, and sets a worrying precedent for more APIs that have UA-specific rules around usage."
"Google participates in the web standards process the way a bear participates in the 'camping' process."
Gemini Nano, a 4GB transfer, is now part of Chrome without user permission, prompting concerns about its integration and implications for web standards. Mozilla has expressed opposition to Google's Generative AI Prohibited Uses Policy, which imposes restrictions beyond legal requirements. This policy raises alarms about the direction of web APIs and the potential for user-agent specific rules. The lack of positive developer sentiment towards these changes is noted, suggesting a troubling trend in how Google influences web standards.
