Has anyone done any comparison Claude Computer Use vs OpenAI Operator? Is it signifcantly better?
A human can work around all these error cases once she encounters them. Current RPA tools like Uipath or ui.vision need explicit programming for every potential situation. And I see no indication that Claude is doing any better than this.
For starters, for visual automation to work reliably the OCR quality needs to improve further and be 100% reliable. Even in that very basic "AI" area, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini are good, but not good enough yet.

Totally disagree. Just one example: Tesla has only two global mass market models (3+Y). There is plenty of room to innovate on this topic alone. Model 2? Model whatever. Nothing new in years.
"The big news is that more and more people are opting to trade their Teslas for an EV from a legacy automaker"
This might be me in a few years. Tesla stopped being innovative years ago. No surprise, its CEO is high on drugs most of the time and spends his days (and nights) posting childish memes.
What you said is all correct, but there are some positive steps as well, for example ELLIS: https://ellis.eu/
ELLIS is a great way to compete with the top US universities. Much more is needed, especially access to computing power, just as the CERN for AI proposal suggests.
(2) EU research:
EU research funding itself is a success:

Imagine what (test) automation extensions like Selenium IDE or Ui.vision could do then. Or translation extensions. Or.... so many cool options.
That is a potential problem Because at this point the user will still need good HTML/Selenium/coding knowledge to debug. We ran into the same issue using chatgpt generated scripts for ui.vision. Once a QA person has to figure out why some generated code does not work, it becomes a hassle and removes any initial advantage over the classic record & replay approach.
No problem (why should it?)
> BEVs are improving quickly so what I buy might be superseded soon
That WAS my concern, but EV resale value is amazingly stable, better than most ICE in my area (EU). After all, EVs are still cars, so innovation cycles are long (many years).
Privacy is the killer feature for crypto. Or is there another non-crypto solution to this problem?
Obviously such an automation runs much slower than any Selenium based automation, but it its sooo much easier to create and maintain, especially on complex websites with tons of Javascript and frameworks. I believe this is the future of causal (test) automation.
...which are elected.
So if you want e. g. a right-wing EU commissioner just vote for your local right-wing party. It is that easy.
But would I recommend a PoC friend to live in Dresden? Not really, I would rather advise him to look for a job in Berlin or Frankfurt.
UI Vision is unique because it supports visual automation with image recognition and OCR. A bit like Sikuli but inside the browser. This avoids dealing with CSS selectors and XPaths.
OCRspace is OK, too, and easier to use. You can just send the PDF. It is free for PDFs with 3 or less pages.
> 2) People want searchable OCR'd PDFs where you can highlight the text, even when it's a bitmap underneath.
OCRspace can also create searchable PDFs: https://ocr.space/searchablepdf
100% wrong.
Elections to the European Parliament take place every five years by universal adult suffrage, and with more than 400 million people eligible to vote, they are considered the second largest democratic elections in the world after India's.
The challenge with Tesseract is that its OCR quality is (too) low for screenshots because screenshots are usually text on colored background. Tesseract is optimized for classical text document OCR. Of course, you can switch OCR engines with Sikuli (I did that before), but this requires touching the source code.
