馃 AI browsers are NOT safe!

There is a thing called "prompt injection" and it works.鹿

Funnily the thing that most see as a major issue with AI, the
crawling of the #web and one-way use of it's content, is exactly what makes their AI browsers unsafe.

If you place malicious #code in that very content, the AI scans it & then runs it虏 on your OS 馃く

This issue has been known to the #tech corps for years鲁, but they released their #AI browsers nonetheless 馃
