Am I missing something here? I used it a few days ago and it does actually act like a web browser and give me the link. This seems to be a UI expectation issue rather than a "real philosophy".

I don't think the CLI one is a good analogy.

Man I still love command-line so much

Well... docs and the "-h" do a pretty good job.

Yes, if I type Taylor Swift Showgirls I get some helpful information and a lot of links, but not her website. It isn't very different than what Google Gemini displays at the top of Google search results.

Is it a webpage? Well... it displays in a browser...

But if I type Taylor Swift, I get links to her website, instagram, facebook, etc.

This isn't Web 2.0, Anil. Things change.

It's really crazy that there is an entire ai generated internet. I have zero clue what the benefit of using this would be to me.Even if we argue that it is less ads and such, that would only be until they garner enough users to start pushing charges. Probably through even more obtrusive ads.

I also need to laugh. Wasn't open AI just crying about people copying them not so long ago?

I’m surprised 1Password isn’t trying to get into this game.

Imagine a browser that lets people define sandboxes and scope credential that an LLM may access to complete certain tasks?

I’d love to have a browser download all of my utility bills for taxes. I’d setup a browser, limit it to a few URLs, give it access to a few credentials, and then let it rip.

I like anti-web phrase. I think it will be a next phase after all those web 2.0 and web x.0 things.

1.0 - algorithmic ranking of real content, with direct links

2.0 - algorithmic feeds of real content with no outbound links - stay in the wall

3.0 - slop infects rankings and feeds, real content gets sublimated

4.0 - algorithmic feeds become only slop

5.0 - no more feeds or rankings, but on demand generative streams of slop within different walled slop gardens

6.0 - 4D slop that feeds itself, continuously turning in on itself and regenerating

It sounds like a great opportunity to poison the well. Create a bot farm that points the browser to every dank and musty corner of the web ad naseum: Old Yahoo, Myspace and Geocities pages, 4chan, 8chan, etc.

Let's flood the system with junk and watch it implode.

Tangent but related, if only google search would do a serious come back instead of not finding nothing anymore, we would have a tool to compare ai to. Sure gemini integration might still be a thing but with actual working search results
