Comment on OpenAI just launched its new ChatGPT Agent that can make as many as 1 complicated cupcake order per hour, but even Sam Altman says you probably shouldn't trust it for 'high-stakes uses'

I’m still wondering. Like did it call up a bakery and place an order? Or go online? I know it didn’t actually make the cupcakes itself.

But I’m not sure that spending an hour trying to wrangle ChatGPT into getting your cupcakes is any faster or easier than placing the order yourself.

The article also noticeably omits what happened after. Were the cupcakes made, and did they match what she wanted?

I’m guessing it’s the AI agent stuff. Which at the moment is literally just automating browsing through a website.

Apparently there will be APIs to do this in the future. Ironically, AI wouldn’t even be needed for that to be useful.

The AI willed those cupcakes into existence, why don’t you trust them?

It’s like the metaverse and NFT, you’re not supposed to think about how it works. Instead you just need to believe reality will magically reorganize to make it work.
