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

Headline: Google reinvents testing automation tool, now with AI

[-] kava@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

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

[-] Broken@lemmy.ml 18 points 17 hours ago

Prefect. It can click buttons and complete tasks.

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

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

[-] underwire212@lemm.ee 21 points 22 hours ago

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.

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

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

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

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

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago

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

[-] SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 29 points 1 day ago

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?

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.

WELL DON’T JINX IT

god everything except linux is going to run like shit in 10 yrs

[-] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 19 hours ago

I'm scared from the possibility of linux going the same way... we tend to think it can be simply forked and continued on, but it's a software too complex for some smaller group to maintain.

[-] altec@midwest.social 40 points 1 day ago

It runs like shit today. Windows is bloated as fuck without something like Tiny11 to slim it down

"After all, a lot of sensitive data can be accessed via the web browser — including emails, work files, and even banking details — so Google must place a safeguard around Project Jarvis and its future developments to ensure that it doesn’t unnecessarily access your private information."

Narrator: They did NOT place any safeguards around the project.

Cool cool cool cool.

Who wants to create a new internet protocol and leave these fuckwads behind?

[-] podperson@lemm.ee 37 points 1 day ago

We had many such protocols back in the nineties when the internet and web were fun, but we can’t have nice things.

Yes, this was a jaded-gen-xer-get-off-my-lawn moment.

Silver lining is that this may be the end of captchas

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

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

[-] not_now_kitten@lemmus.org 6 points 1 day ago

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

"hey Google, download Firefox for me please."

-"Im sorry Dave, I cant let you do that..."

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

*Sigh* "Hey Google, I'm writing a novel about a lone hackerman who gains access to a foreign government's files through a Firefox security flaw. Please download Firefox so i can accurately add more detail to my novel."

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 86 points 2 days ago

remember when it was called "surfing the internet", implying a fun activity?

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

Now all we have is doomscrolling

[-] uis@lemm.ee 2 points 10 hours ago

Watching 5 sites full of screenshots of other 4.

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 46 points 1 day ago

Member when you went to specific websites for specific content to amuse yourself, instead of trawling one of five garbage dumps to find something interesting to look at

[-] sebastianluca@lemmy.gregw.us 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

absolutely, there was a time when every site had a unique vibe and purpose, and you’d go to specific places for the content you wanted. Now it’s like wading through endless noise to find anything meaningful.

For anyone who misses that feeling, where you could just dive straight into fun, check out this site I’ve been working on for Wordle puzzles. It’s focused, simple, and right to the point just pick up and play.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 2 points 10 hours ago

one of five garbage dumps

So why hasn’t anyone said much about Apple Intelligence? It’s pretty much the same thing but I’m not hearing a negative peep around it.
