IMAP is an incredibly simple protocol compared to the sum of all the protocols that are needed to implement a web browser.

A web browser also has to be way more performant.

Both an IMAP client and a web browser have to be reliable and secure. However achieving so in a system as complex as a web browser is incredibly expensive.

Web browsers are almost as complex as operating systems.

Complexity, performance, reliability and security on that level are expensive. You would be delusional to think a web browser should be worth as much as an IMAP client.

Ai companies will just train on these specific puzzles. Then they will claim their AI is AGI and the quality of the models will be the exact same or worse than before. They’ll just have one checkmark more in their marketing.

Maybe the reason they crash less is because everyone around them have to be extremely careful with these cars. Just like in my country we put a big L on the rear of the car for first year drivers.
