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.

Did you at any point in this raving lunacy of a rant stop to think that maybe, just maybe the reason people hate AI is because it's bad?

raving lunacy of a rant

Hey now, words have meaning. Lunacy implies there's a brain there that can be in the state of "insane". That entire thing was probably shit out by a LLM which is why it makes no logical sense

Did you think that maybe just maybe, that people referred to computation as the mark of the beast in the 50s and associated it with satansim?

Cool, cool.

That is almost the most unhinged thing you've said today. Almost.

its like hating knives. humans are problems, not tools

It's like hating a shitty Black and Decker oscillating clipper, when it breaks, randomly cuts your thumb off, or fails to clip the weeniest of leaves from your hedge, when a pair of manual clippers work just fine.

If it's a tool, it's a bad tool being marketed as the best and only tool you'll ever need again.
