Nothing new. We've allowed humans to use computers for ages.

Security-wise, this is closer to "human substitute" than it is to a "browser substitute". With all the issues of letting a random human have access to critical systems, on top of all the early AI tech jank. We've automated PEBKAC.

I don’t know any human who’ll transfer their money or send their private information to a malicious third party because invisible text on a webpage says so.

The only weird thing is the "invisible" part. The rest is consistent with known user behavior.

Yeah this isn’t a substitute, it’s automation taking action based on inputs the user may not even see, and doing it so fast without the likelihood a user would intervene.

If it’s a substitute its no better than trusting someone with the keys to your house, only for them to be easily instructed to rob your house by a 3rd party.

This is like `curl | bash` but you automatically execute the code on every webpage you visit with full access to your browser.

Basically undoing years of effort to isolate web properties from affecting other properties.
