Nothing new. We've allowed humans to use computers for ages.
Security-wise, this is closer to "human substitute" than it is to a "browser substitute". With all the issues of letting a random human have access to critical systems, on top of all the early AI tech jank. We've automated PEBKAC.

If it’s a substitute its no better than trusting someone with the keys to your house, only for them to be easily instructed to rob your house by a 3rd party.
