Musings about AI

ChatGPT Atlas browser

ChatGPT has just released a browser; needless to say, ChatGPT is embedded and allows users to take action directly in the browser. This was inevitable I think - how many users are defaulting to an AI now rather than a browser… when I ask a question I want an answer not a bunch of links to check out. But all the browsers out there will integrate AI… it's already happening actually.

But here's what I'm pondering… do I really want my AI enabled browser being able to track everything I do while using a browser? Like my banking? Email? Certainly ChatGPT is talking up their privacy controls but you'll excuse me for being a tad sceptical. Mind you, my browser can track all of this now… have we already crossed the privacy Rubicon?
