“OpenAI’s Product Lead Adam Fry said during the livestream that ChatGPT Atlas will have the sidecar feature, too. Further, ChatGPT Atlas has “browser history,” meaning that ChatGPT can now log the websites you visit and what you do on them, aynd use that information to make its answers more personalized.”

I cannot think of a piece of software that I want on my computer less than something like this. Literal voluntary malware.
What the fuck is wrong with current browsers that it’s gonna improve on?

Cutting out more middle-men standing in between you and the content™ you want:
Just describe the website you’d like to visit, and Atlas will generate it for you, complete with hallucinated ideas and words, plainly incorrect basic math, and extra fingers.
The convenience of using ChatGPT is the selling point. They want it because users will do the scraping of websites since everybody is blocking the AI crawlers due to all AI companies being shitbags.

Around 20 years ago I started our cities first house doctor computer service. People were in an extreme state of paranoia even letting me use their PC, thinking I was going to steal all their banking information and do all kinds of evil stuff.
Now people are like hey smiling graphic on the screen and this thing says it’s going to help me okay I’ll just give it access to everything
