“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.”
Oh, great! /s
I’d use it on occasion if there were a reason to, but I just can’t conceive of any possible benefit to this. Like, OAI, pretend you want me to buy in and tell me what the use case is.
WAIT!
And it can’t be a personalized experience that shows me only the things I’m most likely to want to buy (or the things most likely to convince me I want to buy something).
NOT YET!
And it can’t be to make sure I never have to experience something on the internet that challenge any of the assumptions that keep me comfortable and happy.
Okay. Now you can go.
crickets
I downloaded Comet to give it a fair go, loaded it up, and then went “…now what?” Couldn’t think of a single thing i could use the AI interface for.
My personal favourite with Atlas is when he demonstrates searching your history. It takes him longer to type out the command than it would to open your history and search manually, and then it takes It like 10 seconds to find a result, when a manual search would be instantaneous.
The future is here!
