Yea this is some real tech bro up ranting at 3am kind of vibes - definitely AI assisted copy too…
Kind of a bummer cause I got excited when it started out with the promise of a new browser and then fizzled out with another “we shoved AI into something that absolutely didn’t need it” types of sales pitches.
Just because you added AI to something doesn’t make it valuable, and in most cases I’m going to assume you’re lazy and what you built is bad.
What do real people use Comet for? I'm looking at their examples here and find none of them realistic or compelling https://www.perplexity.ai/comet
> How are different news outlets covering this differently?
I want less news, not more.
> Organize my tabs by category and close the ones that are distractions
I use a tree-style tab manager. You will close my tabs over my dead body.
> Build a basic website for me using the best website generator tool
Are you fucking serious?

Emails _could_ be useful, but I'm not sure how I feel about Comet reading my emails. From their privacy policy:

> Create a study plan given this syllabus for the next week to help me on my test
This does not need to be in a browser.
> Buy a high quality, comfortable yet cheap office chair
It's so tragicomic to see a page that says "the internet is broken" and then offers AI as the solution. It's like saying "Oh, you have a headache? You'll surely want this hammer to bash your skull with."
