OpenAI launched ChatGPT Agent on Thursday, its latest effort in the industry-wide pursuit to turn AI into a profitable enterprise—not just one that eats investors' billions. In its announcement blog, OpenAI says its Agent "can now do work for you using its own computer," but CEO Sam Altman warns that the rollout presents unpredictable risks.

OpenAI research lead Lisa Fulford told Wired that she used Agent to order "a lot of cupcakes," which took the tool about an hour, because she was very specific about the cupcakes.

The first computers were astonishingly faster and more accurate than human calculation.

Not for negative numbers floating point .... Just read the list man, no they were not. You're incorrect here.

They were faster. Not more accurate.

Just like AI.

Just to be clear, you're saying that ENIAC was just as prone to mathematical error as a guy doing long division on paper would have been?

Stop building straw men.

I never claimed ENIAC was as error prone as a human; I cited its specific technical limits to refute your oversimplification.

You're dodging my actual point by moving the goalposts. My whole point has been pretty clearly stated that today's complaints about AI's inefficiency sound exactly like the old complaints about the first computers.

If you're going to keep employing logical fallacies and move goalposts to make an argument with me and waste my time, I'm just going to block you.
