Its an idea, an abstract concept.

Its not AI, not ML, not NN, not LLMs, not automation scripts like puppeteer or selenium.

End result - the computer program browses internet.

Its a vague idea.

The question is not about technicalities involved.

The intention of the question is to spark the thoughts.

Its a single recursive function.

Its a scattered thought, it would be cool to look such program working, and cooler to build one.

        A web crawler requires me to program the logics.

        The concept does not require me to program the logics, instead it starts reading a seed page, stores information/knowledge breaks it down to doable actions and performs action one by one.

        This design allows the information to direct the concept. Where as, in case of web crawler, me/I will have to direct it.

Just power it up, the vendor's spyware will do exactly this for fulfilling some vendor's profits.
