Google just gave Chrome a huge Gemini-powered upgrade that basically allows the AI assistant to complete tasks on the web for users.

In a blog post, Google announced that it was launching a new feature called "auto browse" powered by its most powerful new AI model, Gemini 3. The feature is only available for Chrome on desktop and is currently only rolling out to paying Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers.

Furthermore, there is a "Take over task" button hovering at the top of the web browser window,
allowing a user to intervene, just in case Gemini goes rogue.

Let's think about this. Don't think for yourself, let Gemini do it for you. Yours truly loves tech and works with it on a daily basis as you, my loyal readers know, but you also know my take on tech includes the inevitable cost of using said tech. In this case, its the hoovering of data connected to how we process data in real time, from shopping to editing and, in many cases, corresponding with friends via emails and social media. It's the AI companies' last ditch hedge against their AIs hallucinating as most of the data created by us rubes is already in system so content of this kind becomes gold as it relates directly to how we, the great unwashed deal with information at personal level.

The "Clever Girl" Moment

Like the raptors testing the fence-line in Jurassic Park, the tech industry has spent years probing the perimeter of human data. They’ve pulled in our text, our images, and our clicks, but now, they’ve found the mother-load: Process Data. Muldoon found out first hand what that truly meant in less than 30 seconds.

By letting the system "auto browse," you aren't just saving time; you are handing over the essence of your intent. The system is no longer just seeing what you found; it is observing how you find it. It is learning the Boolean Logic of your decision-making. It's the keys to the car you're driving.

"They’re not just searching the web; they’re auditing the way you think
so they can eventually replace the need for you to think at all."

Brave New World without drugs applies.

The Feynman Law, why it matters ...

Richard Feynman had a simple rule inscribed on his blackboard: "What I cannot create, I do not understand." If RF were here today, he’d be horrified. Handing off the "thought" to a Gemini-powered auto-complete device is a surrender of understanding. If you're along for the ride, you're a passive passenger. When you stop thinking, you lose the ability to verify if the information in question is even real. You become a victim of AI—accepting the "effortless" ways to do something while the machinery underneath forever remains a black box.
