I wonder how this will even fare in the review process, or if the big AI players will get a free pass here. My intuition says that it's a risk that Google/Chrome absolutely don't want to own, it will be curious to see how "Agentic" AI gets deployed in browsers from a liability fallout perspective.
- asdff 1y agoProbably no liability considering that is how other phishing attempts are viewed.
- whatevertrevor 1y agoBut in other phishing attempts the user actually gives out their password (unintentionally) to an unscrupulous actor. In this case there's a middle-man (the AI extension) doing that for you, sometimes without even confirming with you what you want. I think this is more akin to say a theoretical browser not implementing HTTPS properly so people's credentials/sessions can be stolen with MiTM attacks or something. Clearly the bad behavior is in the toolchain and not the user here, and I'm not sure how much you can wave away claiming "We told you it's not fully safe." You can't sell tomatoes that have a 10% chance of giving you food poisoning, even if you declare that chance on the label, you know?
