I find the very idea of this AI thing making its way through like a virus onto our computer systems (either in centralised form, as it mostly happens now, or installed locally, like this article writes about) quite dystopian. On the other hand I do not find the idea of the Internet browser as dystopian (even though a data and corporate behemoth like Alphabet being the entity behind Chrome is indeed dystopian, I agree on that).

On a second thought you're on to something, maybe if we hadn't let the Internet browser take over our computer-lives as much as it did in the last 20 or so years then Chrome (under its current manifestation, that is) wouldn't have happened. At least we are now aware of the dangers awaiting in front of us when it comes to AI.
