OpenAI to Launch AI Web Browser

OpenAI is planning to introduce a web browser that would be available as an alternative to Safari and Google Chrome, reports Reuters. The AI-powered web browser is "close" to being ready to launch, and it will debut in the coming weeks.

The OpenAI browser will use artificial intelligence to change how consumers browse the web, and it will give OpenAI access to the very web search data that has allowed Google Chrome to remain the top browser option. OpenAI has asked for Google's search data to improve SearchGPT in the past, but Google refused.

Google parent company Alphabet uses information sourced from its Chrome browser to better target ads to customers, plus Chrome is a quick way to ensure that people use Google Search. OpenAI already has SearchGPT, so a browser that integrates its search product is a next logical step.

The browser that OpenAI is developing will keep some user interactions inside a ChatGPT-style interface rather than directing users to click through to websites. It could also include OpenAI's AI agent products like Operator, allowing the browser to complete tasks like making reservations or filling out forms at the direction of the user.

Back in April, an OpenAI executive said that the company would be interested in purchasing the Chrome browser if Google is forced to sell it as part of an antitrust remedy.

....and The Browser Company has already released a beta version of their own "AI browser" named Dia for macOS, remember...

It's insane how much change is happening in the AI field...wasn't it just 2 years ago when we were barely able to generate a realistic video using AI? Now, halfway through the 3rd year with LLMs, we are already seeing competition on who can come out with an AI-first browser.

Just an insane pace of progression of AI...when will it slow down?

I remember thinking this same thought when the iPhone was first introduced, and Apple was showing those graphs at WWDC or at their annual iPhone events every year showing at the rapid performance advancement of the A-series chips and the hockey-puck curve...now, Apple doesn't show that slide anymore because the A-series chips/M-series chips have basically matured and the performance curve has plateaued. Not the case the AI. Who knows what is going to happen to our society once AI has matured and the performance has plateaued and tech has moved on to the next thing...

Unimaginable times we are living in folks...

Just wanted to vent a little and put down my 2-cents.

Thanks for reading...

I can’t wait for this. ChatGPT has removed the need to use a browser to search for something then scroll through endless links. Ask, get an answer, done. I think this will make traditional browsers redundant.

I would say for LLMs the pace of progression has slowed down quite a bit. In fact it seems that technology has run into a brick wall. The SOTA LLMs already use practically all the data that’s out there, and it’s just too expensive to throw more compute at it.
