Claude fumbles a payment task: wrong browser profile, never tried computer use
trq212 · x · 2026-09-26
- A user asked Claude to complete a payment flow; it initially refused, then got lost in its built-in browser — it couldn't import cookies (using the first profile) and never tried controlling Chrome via computer use, which would have accessed passwords with approval.
- The author wishes it had simply said "I'll go to the payment page, you enter payment details and hit submit."
