The idea I was replying to suggests "consent" is needed, but apparently just for this one example of bloat.

And doesn't explain how normal non-hacker users (99% of the audience) are supposed to judge what "4GB" means to them.

I'm all for users getting to have more control over the usage of their finite resources, especially in this cursed age of soldered-down storage and RAM. But I disagree that some dialog that explains the feature and asks permission to use 4GB would improve anything. Honestly, it wouldn't even improve the PR with this crowd, it would just change the headline to "Chrome pushing users to download and install a 4GB model for so-called 'AI features'!"
