Ask HN: Why is everyone suddenly so interested in AI browsers? (techcrunch.com)

Honestly, I don't find any AI browser out there that is actually useful to me. All those shiny new features fade away once you start using them in your day-to-day life. I am not able to understand why I would automate something like browsing the web with AI. All I need is a good utilities-based browser that makes my browsing easy. Arc does a good job, but it's sad to see that they are wasting their time on a useless Dia browser instead of making Arc great.

What do you guys think?

Because the 'agents' thing is already a year or so old; got to keep the hype going _somehow_, you know. The VCs thirst for exits.
