The thing I find the most funny about all of these demos is they outsource tasks that are pretty meaningful ... choosing where to hike, learning more about the world around you, instead, you'll be told what to do and live in blissful ignorance. The challenge of living life is also the joy, at least to me. Plus I would never trust a company like openai with all of my personal information. This is definitely just them…

The end station is advertising and for that they need your data.

So openAI's answer to Perplexity's Comet. I'm afraid this will be the future, as these AI-browsers do truly bring value. But they open up the gate for a single Big Tech Winner that truly knows everything about you, and can even control everything on your behalf. I really hope open-source Browsers like Firefox follow up soon with better alternatives, like on-device LLMs to counteract the "all in the cloud" LLM approac…

Do not want, I want none of it and no part of it.

I'll use Lynx before I use that.

AI is already infesting search results directly (til I adblocked it), writing the crap on whatever page I just landed on and led me to turn unhook up to "just show the damn video" on YT.

I've yet to see a single use of AI that in any way improves my life and I'm supposed to hand companies who are already too powerful even more of my life/data for that.

I'll pass.

From my point of view it's become very tiresome pretending the emperor is wearing clothes or at least not pointing that out.

I don't want an AI browser and don't understand the attractiveness of it. Like. What does it add that a normal browser + chatgpt extension doesn't? It is a gimmick to boost usage and token count and fake growth I think. This is the reason I dont trust Altman. He is all about fake growth.

Personally I welcome competition in this space.

I find the hike itself more meaningful than the searching for it. If an LLM can recommend be me a better hike, I’m all for it. The word choice here: “you’ll be told what to do” doesn’t really reflect my experience with LLMs. You can always ask for more recommendations or push back. (As an aside, I’ve found LLMs to be terrible for recommending books.)

An aside to the aside: I did too, until I exported my Goodreads ratings and uploaded the CSV. Then it's pretty great.

Super dumb question but why was this so hard for someone to build.

I’ve been wanting to simply ask AI about whatever is currently on my screen for years.

I don’t get why we can’t easily have this.

Here are the highlights from the .DMG installer screens ( https://imgur.com/a/Tu4TlNu ): 1. Turn on browser memories Allow ChatGPT to remember useful details as you browse to give smarter responses and proactive suggestions. You're in control - memories stay private. 2. Ask ChatGPT - on any website Open the ChatGPT sidebar on any website to summarize, explain, or handle tasks - right next to what you're browsing. 3.…

Giving people money to set you as your default browser seems like it might be, idunno, like, maybe a little bit anticompetitive and dystopian

Or maybe a prime example of healthy capitalism! /s

I asked it to scroll through a chat stream and collect all comments from a particular person. It took a long time and accomplished nothing, except for sending the search query into the chat. Great job.

How can you trust company that says Privacy in your control or some nonsense like that, when they scraped the whole internet and breached the foundation of privacy :)
