    The idea of a ChatGPT agent automating a web browser is compelling — but it raises serious concerns around user security, data confidentiality, and privacy.

    Laughing so hard at this ChatGPT “Agent” that immediately fails at the first task, second try takes 21 minutes and results in a vague plan for a wedding and what suits to buy.  A PRE PLANNED example of an itinerary for visiting every MLB stadium leads to this image  —  www.youtub…

    Sam Altman's “disclaimers” about being careful when using OpenAI's new “ChatGPT Agent” should be as effective at avoiding liability for his company as selling a nuclear toaster with “disclaimers” would be.  [embedded post]

    Interesting question: if an agent run by chatgpt books you in an Airbnb that doesn't exist or is in another city entirely, for example, is openai liable for losses and damages? [embedded post]

    OpenAI announced “ChatGPT Agents” today which will supposedly book vacations and other things on your behalf.  —  I highly doubt this product will work right and I definitely think it will result in major issues.  [image]

    “The new ChatGPT agents can also be slow or buggy, said the person who has used them.  It can often take an agent a half hour or more to complete tasks a human could do in 10 to 15 minutes, they said.”  —  🤦‍♀️ [embedded post]

    Today we launched a new product called ChatGPT Agent.  Agent represents a new level of capability for AI systems and can accomplish some remarkable, complex tasks for you using its own computer.  It combines the spirit of Deep Research and Operator, but is more powerful than that…
  • @sama Sam Altman on x
    watching chatgpt agent use a computer to do complex tasks has been a real “feel the agi” moment for me; something about seeing the computer think, plan, and execute hits different.
  • @boazbaraktcs Boaz Barak on x
    ChatGPT Agent is the first model we classified as “High” capability for biorisk. Some might think that biorisk is not real, and models only provide information that could be found via search. That may have been true in 2024 but is definitely not true today. Based our

    these results were eye-opening for me... chatgpt agent performed better than i expected on some pretty realistic investment banking tasks [image]
  • @kerengu @kerengu on x
    “High capability” is a risk-based threshold from our Preparedness Framework. We classify a model as High capability if, before any safety controls, it could significantly lower barriers to bio misuse—even if risk isn't certain. https://openai.com/...
  • @kerengu @kerengu on x
    This is a pivotal moment for our Preparedness work. Before we reached High capability, Preparedness was about analyzing capabilities and planning safeguards. Now, for Agent and future more capable models, Preparedness safeguards have become an operational requirement.

    ChatGTP just launched an agent with connected apps and its own computer. Here's a test of the agent tasked with making a strategy presentation with market research and a template from Box. It's early, but the future is agents doing work for us 24/7 in the background. [video]
  • @saboo_shubham_ Shubham Saboo on x
    Hot take: ChatGPT Agents are overhyped. Genspark and Manus AI are already miles ahead in generating well researched AI presentations and working with the spreadsheets. This AI Agent literally beats OpenAI ChatGPT in just one shot. [video]
  • @kerengu @kerengu on x
    We've activated our strongest safeguards for ChatGPT Agent. It's the first model we've classified as High capability in biology & chemistry under our Preparedness Framework. Here's why that matters-and what we're doing to keep it safe. 🧵

  • @gdb Greg Brockman on x
    When we founded OpenAI (10 years ago!!), one of our goals was to create an agent that could use a computer the same way as a human — with keyboard, mouse, and screen pixels. ChatGPT Agent is a big step towards that vision, and bringing its benefits to the world thoughtfully.

  • @emollick Ethan Mollick on x
    It feels like a cross between Manus and o3. Manus is capable of somewhat more complex tasks, but agents is better at integrating research and doing a wider range of tasks well (this is early impressions, and I know they are still working on the tool)
  • @emollick Ethan Mollick on x
    It feels much more like working with an actual human intern capable of a wider range of analytical and computer tasks, and, like an intern, you want to give it feedback and work back & forth. Not all the way there yet, but the paradigm is shifting from prompting to delegating.
