OpenAI launched ChatGPT Atlas browser with built-in AI
Tell me, wasn’t ChatGPT as a chat enough for you? Now OpenAI decided you’ll surf the internet through their browser. Meet ChatGPT Atlas. This is a browser with built-in artificial intelligence. Which, according to Sam Altman, will show you the future of the internet.
There are really plenty of features there. 1 – memory. The browser remembers your preferences and becomes personalized. 2 – agent that books tables, buys tickets and edits documents for you. 3 – constant companion. You click on a link from search, and Atlas by default shows split-screen: site on the left, ChatGPT transcript on the right. Can be disabled, but the point is that AI sticks around always.
Sam Altman calls Atlas an excellent browser – smooth, fast, pleasant. Well, how else, when the team has Ben Goodger who previously made Chrome and Firefox? The browser can summarize pages, edit text on-the-fly right in the line, work with closed tabs and even fill forms autonomously.
It’s the classic story: first we make a chatbot, then we shove it into a search engine, and now we stuff it into a browser entirely. And all this supposedly for your convenience. Now you can’t even just surf the internet without AI. It will hang on the right and remind of itself.
