I loathe (couldn’t figure out a synonym more than that) the word agentic. It sums up everything bad and wrong about AI.
Chrome is also turning into an agentic browser with its newest update

It will handle your socials, chats, your agenda, your website, your credit card, your vacations, your photos from the moment of activation to well after death…

All so you can spend more time generating value for your masters and overlords. Huzzah, we’ve eliminated the pesky scourge of free time!

Also so they can easily predict who is with them and who is against them. Who’s got the hot new ideas so they can beat them to market. Who might challenge the status quo.

If they marketed “Agentic AI” as a way for someone to disappear from the internet entirely and be replaced by AI, I’d finally get onboard.
Flying_Lynx@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
Basically don’t know how to interpret “autobrowse” in any other way. Bit like “autopilot”, you “should” have the hands on the steering wheel but…

Are you trying to tell me that my computer will remember me better than my kids?
Flying_Lynx@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
No. The server will simply keep raising your kids after you’re gone and better than you ever could.

They want to push all this shit in browsers so that they can start automatically buying shit once they’re selling ads
chunes@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
God, I hadn’t thought of that. It’s going to be like cancelling a cable subscription but worse.
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 3 weeks ago
This actually sounds interesting.
“Find all comments on lemmy that are wrong. Respond explaining how they are wrong.”
That would save a lot of work.

Someone? Everyone!

Brilliant! You’ll save us all a lot of work. Plus we will finally figure out which version of Linux is the correct one.

“Let’s give everyone an army of spambots! What could go wrong?”
I’m gonna start reading books again.
innermachine@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I don’t know if he joking or not but seriously I started reading again regularly like a year ish ago and I think my attention span getting better. Just not spending as much time scrolling bullshit is a big W along with practicing a longer attention span weather it’s reading or something else. Go get a terry pratchet book !

Chrome has added Auto Browse
sit down, lean back, and watch the internet scroll by /s

I love software that acts without my consent or knowledge while atrophying my brain and wasting tremendous amounts of resources

You know what this is launching just in time for?
Tax season.
Queue 10 million people getting audited because they let their browser file their taxes for them.
slampisko@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Cue.
nyan@lemmy.cafe 3 weeks ago
If they’re auditing that many of them, there will be a queue, too.
Technus@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Yeah, I realized that as soon as I posted it.
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
lol as if the IRS is going to audit anyone now.
phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
They will if you’re not a rich fascist.
Hule@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Here’s hoping they’ll use the same model as their clients…
melfie@lemy.lol 3 weeks ago
That does it, I’m never installing Chrome again. I haven’t in years anyway because it’s garbage spyware, but still.
sturmblast@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
These companies are all tone deaf
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Its more than tone. They are just deaf dumb and stupid when it comes to what their users are saying.

save us vivaldi you’re our only hope
Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Nah, Firefox. Anything based on the blink engine is vulnerable to upstream fuckiness.
Ladybird is also getting there.
cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Nah, Firefox. Anything based on the blink engine is vulnerable to upstream fuckiness.
so aren’t firefox forks
and ladybird might be nice but the dev outed himself as a right wing bigot

In practice that looks like this: youtube.com/shorts/pjT0ubmENWk
It sure looks creepy when your browser suddenly starts doing all kinds of stuff.
KeenFlame@feddit.nu 3 weeks ago
No percent truth was in that video
WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 3 weeks ago
He did say it makes screenshots of everything and sends it to a cloud AI for processing. I believe that. It’s also a good reason for not wanting it.
bluegreenpurplepink@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
In reality, it’s going to screw so much stuff up and do so many things you don’t want it to do, that you’re going end up spending a lot of time just correcting all the mistakes it makes.
And when you’re not fighting to stop it from doing more things you don’t want it to do, you’re going spend your time worrying about what it will do next that you’re going have to fix.
And unless you pay for the most expensive phone and the most expensive tier of service, they’ll probably dumb it down on purpose and your life is going be hard.
phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Mistake prevention is far better than mistake correction.
I’ll be disabling that shit as soon as I install.

Is one of those agents going to jerk off for you too? Who the fuck needs an agent to browse the web for them?
Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I see someone didn’t use Ask Jeeves back then /s
itsathursday@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It didn’t make sense then, and it doesn’t make sense now. Keyword searches with an understanding of search syntax was always king.
ssladam@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s trying to solve a problem created by SEO slop. “Find me the cheapest car rental”… That’s actually hard to do now bc SEO grift. Rather than building a more honest system, you get “agents” to do the searching for you
