> It couldn't possibly be actually doing those things. It's a large language model. How would it be provisioning a computer?

I agree that it isn't, but it's not like it's impossible, right? We know chatgpt was trained on data including a lot of html code for webapps, it certainly seems like it could be taught to parse the widgets of a UI like a sentence and traverse it well enough to handle a prompt like, "Use a search engine to find a small VPN host that accepts bitcoin, register for an account..."

edit: I mean it's not impossible to purposefully build a bot that could sign up for a web app; it is of course impossible that a language model might do it.
