Google should create AI agents to use their services and pay for their bullshit since they like AI agents so much.

Me: "Hey, Google. Use my computer to play Deadlock for me."

i guess it's just puppeteer + ai prompting

unless AI gets significantly better in the next year or so I doubt it's gonna be any better than someone spending an hour writing a puppeteer scraping script

Headline: Google reinvents testing automation tool, now with AI

Prefect. It can click buttons and complete tasks.

No sir, I did not accept your terms and conditions, my browser did.

Didn't windows also start tracking how you use windows?

Chrome has been for years, so this is only a worse problem for end users.

I bought it so I could use it though. The ai can buy it's own computer to use!

Can’t wait till AI can just learn and utilize my consciousness on my behalf. That way I don’t need to exist.

Your values will be satisfied with friendship and ponies, and it will be completely consensual.

Companies are stealing your computer's resources (hard disk space, CPU time) to build their own Skynet and charging you for the privilege.

If enabled, this could secretly start purchasing random things with your credit card, pretty much just stealing your money. We can't trust a voice assistant with this, why trust AI?

Silver lining is that this may be the end of captchas

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Nope, still need that training data to sell to self-driving car tech.

Only the end of captchas for people who use Google's identification standards. With device IDs and accounts they already usher many users past Captcha and I think the more who do that, the worse captchas can get for us who don't

Google doesn't have the leverage to get it into your OS against your wishes. They can't even make me have their apps (search, assistant) on their Android.
