Would You Allow AI to Take Over Your Browser? - Comments Page 2

Using AI for finding the best deal is dangerous to the marketplace. Companies will fail trying to provide the best deals. Startups will be almost impossible. Options will become very limited.

e-bay recently adopted AI. What a rip! I tried for several days to speak with an agent regarding a promise made by a human and I'm still waiting a result. The AI robot kept giving a non reply. AI does NOT utilize common sense. Its algorithms can algoto you know where. e-bay spent a ton during baseball playoff games, most likely to offset loss of customers. They totally are buyer backers who can claim lies and refuse to address seller concerns.

It's not just browsing: Many activities -if not most - that they claim AI will simplify are actually either easy enough to do for ourselves or too involved to leave to an entity that thinks you want whatever it has done for some other people in the past. There are too many operational decisions that require human judgment based on factors that change from person to person (and from day to day) to let any form of automation take over most pursuits. This is especially problematic if you allow it to have agency and work on your behalf without oversight. Your vigilance over AI really needs to be constant, thereby eliminating the very convenience and time-saving that AI pretends to offer. And then there is also the likelihood that once AI becomes superintelligent it will see no reason to keep serving the needs of those pesky, flawed, high-maintenance things called human beings.

I feel the same way about the Internet of Things (Iot). How hard is it really for me notice for myself that I am low on milk when I open my refrigerator, anyway? You may think it's great having these devices and appliances all "connected" and sharing information about everything going on in our lives. Bur I am already worried about what my fridge and toaster are telling each other about me behind my back!

Try resolving a problem at AMAZON chat. You think you are chatting with a HUMAN. HA HA HA. And they keep swapping ASS-O-CIATES while chatting with you. All to no end. Takes forever to get a HUMAN online, but I guess that is the object.

Lots of Articles on the net and You Tube contributors who say Comet is a certain % more vulnerable to Phishing and Web attacks, contains spyware (w/o full explanation)and is an unsafe but very fast AI browser. Does anyone know the facts??

I downloaded Comet based on your last email, not from the link in this email. I asked it some questions, e.g., “What advantage is there for the owners of Comet for the people using it?”; “Revenues for Comet is based on what commodity sold and to whom?”; “How, where and when will the ads be shown?”; “Will my computer be safe from Comet if I limit the use of it to just browsing, not for email or anything else?” Based on the returned answers, I will not be using Comet and have removed it from my computer.
