It is still early days - gpt powered browsers are becoming a commodity. One use I've found is leadgen automation. But it still not stable and frequently ends up in infinite loops.

It’s designed for stealing your data, they can’t exactly list that as one of their primary use cases but it’s the truth. You are there to help feed their training models.

I am incredibly amused by the idea that OpenAI was so cynical about the latest in what people are hyping that they decided to make a browser themselves.
