Never mind all the #chess puzzles I fail from stupidity. That’s purely a lack of ability. But when I miss-tap or mouse slip I want to throw my phone or mouse across the room 🤣.

I’ve read a number of mainstream reviews of people falling over themselves about how good #Muse is at being a personal assistant… so I thought I’d give it a spin.

To be honest, it is actually pretty bad for the task I gave it: find a USB-A to USB micro Type B connector. I think Muse’s inability is more because of all the anti-bot stuff going on.

#Amazon is really good at blocking bots, and so is #Cloudflare. Monoprice is behind Cloudflare, so Muse couldn’t even look at pricing. BestBuy and Walmart were viewable, but there were constant bot blockers that had Muse asking for help. I told Muse to solve the puzzles itself, and it was able to get past whatever Walmart and BestBuy do. After giving it the ok to purchase, it was a huge new pain in the ass. You either give it your personal account information or set up a new account. Then paying is some wallet connection with Stripe, which obviously won’t work everywhere. An alternative is a virtual screen running Chrome where you manually drive it over your phone. It kept triggering bot-blocking pages.  Since I was able to see the item in my cart for Walmart in their app on my iPhone, I was able to complete the purchase from a 3rd-party seller.

Overall, it’s kind of terrible at doing basic finding and buying. I shared this thought with Muse, and it agreed and stated it’s better at researching and finding.

So…. #AI #OpenClaw
