Really, the only thing you need to know about Google's agentic #AI #Chrome "Auto Browsing" feature is that #Google says YOU are responsible for all actions the agentic AI takes on your behalf.

That's the whole ballgame. Right off the cliff. Don't touch it. Don't use it. Don't get anywhere near it.

Can I ask someone to explain this to me like I'm a child who doesn't fully understand the implications. Except I'm an adult.

@Iwillyeah An agent is a tool that an LLM can use on your behalf, like read or send emails, book flights, or the like. The problem is that LLMs are extremely gullible and there is no separation between data (content of your emails) and commands (text in your email telling the LLM what to do). They try to filter out harmful stuff but it isn't difficult for someone to trick the system into stealing your data or even your money. Since Google has no fix, they are saying that the user is liable if anything goes wrong.
