alt Hacker News>You wouldn't give a _human_ this level of access to your browser.
Your statement made me thought of this possibility:
It's possible we are anthropomorphizing LLM but they will just turn out to be just next stage in calculators. Much smarter than the previous stage but still very very far away from a human consciounness.
So that scenario would answer why you would be comfortable giving a LLM access to your browser but not to a human.
Not saying LLM are actually calculator, I just consider the possibility that they might be or not be.
The concept of Golem have been around for quite some times. We could think it but we could not actually make it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem
The problem is that people call LLMs human or not depending on whether that benefits them.
In the copyright debate, people often call LLMs human ("we did not copy your data, the LLM simply learned from it").
In this case it might be the other way around ("You can trust us, because we are merely letting a machine view and control your browser")
