Prompt Fiction ain't your typical podcast. Join our hosts Scott and Reece as they descend into the rabbit hole of AI, creativity, and the unexpected stories that emerge when technology meets human imagination. Each episode is a journey through uncharted territory, where prompts become narratives and algorithms become characters in their own right. Like the briefcase in Pulp Fiction, we never quite reveal what's inside our prompts - but the glow is undeniable.

Emergency Broadcast 01

Reece Preston and Scott Quilter return for an emergency broadcast to dive into the massive surprise announcement from OpenAI: the release of their new web browser, Atlas.

Is Atlas the revolutionary tool we've been waiting for? The hosts break down what makes this browser distinct from competitors like Perplexity’s Comet, noting that while Comet feels like a web browser with AI bolted on, Atlas feels like ChatGPT has had a browser added to it, featuring the integrated polish of the ChatGPT experience.

In this episode, you will learn about the key features of Atlas:

• Integrated ChatGPT: The full ChatGPT experience—including all your past conversations, projects, and Custom GPTs—is available in a companion sidebar right next to every window you open. This removes unnecessary steps like copying and pasting, allowing the assistant to see and act directly on the content in your browser.

• Custom GPT Potential: Discover the "huge amounts of potential" now that Custom GPTs and projects can interact with live web pages, potentially automating repeatable manual tasks on regular websites.

• Agent Mode Control: The updated Agent Mode now takes control of your actual browser, allowing it to bypass blocks and interact with secure pages (like your shopping cart). Importantly, you must physically turn Agent Mode on, addressing security concerns seen in other browsers.

• Browser Memory: Discussing the "equally amazing and terrifying" new feature where Atlas tracks and creates a narrative of your web browsing history. While this can be used as a productivity tool (e.g., analysing your day to suggest improvements), listeners should note that you can only archive, not delete, these browser memories.

Important Details & Warnings:

• Currently, Atlas is only available on Mac OS.

• The browser is built on Chromium, meaning your existing Chrome plugins should still work.

• For security and privacy, you can disable Chat features for individual websites, such as banking or accountancy portals.

• The hosts discuss the impact of Atlas's sudden launch, noting that Google's stock dropped 4% as a result, and they explore the potential risks and implications of OpenAI training its models on user browser history.

Tune in to hear Reece and Scott’s initial impressions, standout features (like the ability to transcribe images directly from a web), and why they are encouraging listeners to be curious and play with this powerful, yet brand new, tool
