you give an LLM control of your computer.

Yesterday I told it to make a website and it opened the browser, did a bunch of steps, (I did have to authenticate). But then it connected some html on my computer with a server with google sheets.

Consider its a massive security risk. You are giving it full access to everything your computer can do. (Potentially, you can limit stuff)

Yeah, for a sophisticated developer with technical background, maybe the idea of setting up a messaging app that lets you talk to a home server is not a crazy thing. But this is for the most part a lot of normies realizing that that's possible and that you don't have to be highly technical in order to achieve it. And opening the door to doing anything computable interfaced via WhatsApp audio messages.

If you cant see why that captures the imagination of people, you should look at the world with more wander. Heck try reading poetry.
