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.

    So it takes ChatGPT 10 minutes to an hour of servertime and the energy equivalent of a tank of gas or two to complete a simple task the user could have done in thirty seconds using their 40W brainmeats and a couple of pudgy fingers. That’s just great. Good stuff, Altman. /s

      You’re not wrong today. But this is exactly the basis of the critique of computers in the 50s. And you probably created this post using a mobile Internet connected computer that fits in your pocket.

          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?
