If my browser is downloading some data, then what’s the difference if my AI agent is doing the same? I’ll even tell you it’s my browser. Who are you to say what qualifies as a browser?

The law will say what qualifies as a browser.

Computer programmers are not legal experts lol. The law is not a program.

The difference between you accessing it and a computer accessing it makes these things different.

A browser is a user agent, it's some software that makes requests to a server and renders them in a way I can understand. There's no difference between using a screen reader to vocalize content and using an AI agent to summarize it.

Sigh and now you're arguing with me instead of the law, as if I matter.

Bits have color and if you don't know what that means, Google that before responding.

I think this is the reference but I'm too lazy to get a TLDR https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24917679

Just have the AI use the browser.

Likely a judge or jury will decide. Law isn’t code.

If it’s two different things then it’s not the same thing.
