The inclusion of AI in everything is definitely thought-provoking. Especially as generative AI is such an astonishingly fast-moving technology.

Two articles are worth reading:

First, Seth Godin’s very practical musings on efficient use of AI as part of your working routine here: https://seths.blog/2023/09/chatgpt-for-you/

And second, Stephen Fry’s very amusing thoughts after listening to a fake version of himself reading the Harry Potter books, here: https://www.indiewire.com/news/general-news/stephen-fry-ai-audiobook-ripoff-voice-1234906684/

I have major reservations about the inclusion of AI in apps, but then (despite all my Obsidian plug-ins) I tend to prefer the simple over the complex, hence prefer to keep my AI activity strictly separate from the apps on which my life depends. A useful adjunct, rather than an integral feature. In years to come, this approach may prove ineffectual. But I am also very wary of any single developer making me totally app-dependent because their AI function has become an indispensable part of my life…

Cheers!

Yes, that’s a major issue. The desktop versions do a lot with linking, pretty impressively. I would expect them to make links work at some point in the web version.
