我深入探讨了 ChatGPT 的新任务模式，它不仅仅是一个简单的提醒功能，而是迈向更自主的 AI 系统的重要一步。很多人低估了它的实用性，仅仅将其视为营销噱头。 我认为，ChatGPT 的任务功能的真正价值在于其自主执行任务的能力。它可以自主地执行一系列操作，例如搜索网络信息、处理数据并生成报告，而无需用户不断干预。这与传统的提醒功能有本质区别。 虽然目前该功能还处于测试阶段，存在一些局限性，例如任务数量限制、与其他功能的兼容性问题等，但这并不影响其核心价值。它为未来更自主的 AI 系统奠定了基础，是通往 OpenAI 的 Operator 平台的重要一步。 有效利用 ChatGPT 任务功能的关键在于任务堆叠和上下文任务。任务堆叠是指将多个任务组合在一起，形成一个完整的流程，从而实现更复杂的自动化操作。上下文任务是指充分利用 ChatGPT 的上下文窗口，将相关信息整合在一起，提高任务执行效率。 我建议用户将日常重复性任务分解成更小的单元，并利用 ChatGPT 的任务功能进行自动化处理。这需要用户具备一定的 prompt engineering 能力，能够清晰地表达任务需求，并利用上下文信息提高任务执行效率。 总而言之，ChatGPT 的任务模式并非简单的营销噱头，而是通往更自主 AI 系统的重要一步。虽然目前存在一些不足，但其潜力巨大，值得用户深入探索和应用。
