AutoGPT Unveiled: A Glimpse into AGI?
11:26 Share

Since the beginning of ChatGPT, it's always had this one limit. Um they really kind of held IT back from you know people really be be afraid of IT being released into the wild and that is a fact that ChatGPT um GPT three and GPT four they they don't really connect to the internet. Some people have try to make make some plugins that do that.

They are really connect to the international and they don't really run on their own. They need a person to prompt them, tell them what to do um and other than that, you know it's just essentially a tool now that is all changing with what is called auto GPT. This is kind of seen as one of the big inflection points in GPT in ChatGPT itself.

And a lot of people are saying that this is kind of the beginning of A G I. Or artificial general intelligence and kind of taking the next step there. So today on the poncas, we're going to talk about what exactly auto GPT is, what the implications are of IT for the internet, for the workforce at large and what people are currently using IT for a so essentially rate off the bat.

What you should know about auto GPT is, IT is a open source, meaning is not controlled by a company. The code is out there, and anyone can use IT for free project on github. And this project was created just a couple of weeks ago, but the R T has over sixty thousand stars on get hub which ah get up is essentially just a code repository or place where developers can upload all of their code, share code, look at code, merge code if you're working on a coding project, you can be using github.

And having sixty thousand stars on a project is actually massive. IT has over eight thousand forks. Um meaning people are making variations of this.

I'm taking the code and building on IT. This is a very, a very big project. A lot of people are very interested in this. So what is interesting to know from, you know essentially the side projects someone built IT is a tony people are taking IT in.

What's auto GPT does is IT can um it's essentially and what some are calling an agent, meaning I can go and do whatever you tell IT to do. So as what you do is you this thing connects to the internet. IT can go.

You can make searches. IT can. I've seen them by pizza for people, you give IT an objective so different than a specific prompt.

You could say your goal is to be um my my business analyst and to make my business more profitable. Here's all the information about my business. Um this is what I said.

This is what I do yet yet at your goal is to just make me more profitable. And IT just takes an objective, or you can go a few different objectives. IT breaks us into a task list.

So if your money, if your objective is to make more money, IT looks at your products that can do product market research and breaks into a hole age of different um tasks and then when these tasks are too complicated for this one coral agent to solve, IT spins up multiple variations or agents below IT so know kind of like on charge bet how you would have different like the reads if you ask in ChatGPT for different questions. It's one thread that's like the boss and it's control in all the other threads or agents and telling them want to do. It's like, okay, so we're going to make more money.

I want you to do product market research. I want you to go and look at what competitors are doing here. I want you to go and look at different ways we can cut costs in the company.

I want you to go be a social media manager and spend up new dalian to gram post with captions. I want you to go create image assets for the website. So essentially you set this thing lose and you can give IT different um things too.

You can say like I want you to make me more profitable or I want you to come up with a new product that we can sell. Your budget is, you know, a thousand dollars. Your budget one hundred dollars.

Do X, Y and z, whatever my goal is within that budget. So this thing can take budgets, so they can take objectives. And IT runs on its own and anytime, on any time that, like one of its agents is like maxi.

Now you know, like you've seen this with ChatGPT, like you get a really long conversation going and kind starts. I'm becoming less a IT doesn't remember so much something that are talked about before. All the data that all of the agents are gathering can become find and there are short there.

They compressed them. So all the data being combined and IT knows everything. This thing is crazy. I mean, i've seen this thing, someone has to go and buy them a pizza um because they they had IT to give the access to go do that. Someone said, know, I want uh I have like a weekly budget for groceries.

I want you to go make all my meal plans based on this budget and based off of these dear restrictions you know things that you could tell ChatGPT asked for a list, but this doesn't just do the list. This goes and makes the meal plan, then IT goes and figures out how to integrate into um the A P I for um you know a shop in APP. Then IT goes in orders all your groceries to your front door for you.

Like this thing is like connected to the interact interfacing with as of software and doing the stuff and it's um people are hooking IT into GPT for so this thing is incredibly powerful and um a lot of people are freaking out saying, you know this is the next level of A G I like this. I is beyond just giving you an answer. In the ChatGPT interface, IT is now executing and if IT doesn't have not banned with to figure out a problem, IT creates an entire task list and delegates its tasks to lower versions or other um you know other agents on its network.

Now the thing to know with all of this is it's not just like a software that anyone can use. This is something currently for developers, although some people are making versions that are useful for people a code. But at the moment, you know, you have to go get your um OpenAI A I keys and integrate them and you have to go get some other stuff and integrated. And there's kind of like a command um I command module that you that you talk to this thing through code and you get IT all set up. So it's a little bit more complex than just, you know anyone can open IT up and talk like chat B T, although people are making more simple versions of IT.

So this is going to be, I think, are really massive trend where we have these A I agents essentially set loose all over the internet, doing different things, writing blogs in social media, posts in the can just tell them, like you're my social media agent, figure out a way to get me more followers on instagram and then IT just goes as all the research on what people in your niche are doing to get more followers on instagram and then IT goes and IT gets other agents to write the post, ones to generate the images, and other ones to edit the videos, and other ones to go comment on things like like it's crazy because you're you giving an objective and IT is running through A A list and it's like doing the work. It's not just giving your responses. So this is a really big paradigm shift, and a lot of people are, you know afraid of that.

But people on twitter are sharing some really cool stop that they been able to get done. Someone I had to prepare podcast outlines um by searching the news for what was like trending in their area and then preparing a podcast outlines talking about all those new trending areas and uh preparing and giving IT to them um and I mean i've also figured out how to do A I podcast in the passle. I don't know if they got this deep into that.

Maybe they just um you know how to prepare like a spread sheets, but you could also tell IT to go integrate with something like well said labs that reads the podcast and then you could go and integrate them into something like um spotify for poddar ast and post the podcast. So like you could you could literally spend up an agent that is doing the research and um creating the content, posting the content, replying to comments on the content, starting the social media account like a twitter account for the podcast, like the thing these things can get very, very complex. This things will get very crazy.

Um other people are having their A I agents conduct product research and rate a summary of you know the best headphones to get. Other people are seven got IT to become their personal investment analyst and designed antony and autonomous ly gather um pretty much analytics of the markets um and IT saved him a ton of time. I went and looked at like user or looked like people's tim about different companies in the energy sector and make recommendations about which ones to invest in us. Like these things are getting very complex, very, very complicated, very cool.

Some people are worried, you know, what happens if you really can create these agents that, for example, you say, get me more followers on instagram or tiktok or twitter and IT just takes over an account and does all the stuff like what is going to happen to other people that have that job rate um IT are these agents can be Better than them or they can be worse of them as if it's capable inevitably it's a matter of time before these things are able to really um do that. And so I think IT IT comes down to the question of a lot of people are talking about a listed to podcast yesterday of um it's a you know lex freemen interviewing the CEO of opening eye sam altman and he was you know there's a bunch for theory or concepts are talking about with this where essentially they're same like there's a debate about like the dignity of work where people are saying like we need work in our life to be happy, like gives us a sense of purpose. Sam altman n obviously open a eyes.

It's about to disrupt a lot of jobs and so his position is more that um well, yes, work might be good. You can change the type of work and maybe the more mental tasks are gonna automated. Um or maybe why you do work is you just do work because IT brings you a sense of fulfilment or a self expression, right? There's all these arguments. I'm not picking sides. I think it's I definitely empathy to a large degree.

A lot of people that fear um getting replaced or something you know you might spend ten or fifteen years or went to college for studying all the sudden can now be done by A I very efficiently and like in notifies all that work you put in like massive empathy for the the struggle that that would be and at the same time it's hard for me to say you know this technology is bad when know this technology might be what's capable of bringing an entire third world nation out of poverty um by automating a lot of tasks that were previously difficult, allowing them to have more freedom and prosperity in the country. So you know there there's a lot of there's lot of sides to this is pretty crazy like it's no doubt disruption is no doubt can be very uncomfortable for a lot of people. Um and you know the the argument is that despite the discomfort, this is how you raise the global standard of living and help eliminate poverty by automating previously meanwhile tasks and becoming more productive and more wealthy, being able to create more outputs with less.

So this is absolutely crazy. All of these arguments, philosophical and you know economic and otherwise, I really do believe are plugging pretty heavily into this whole auto GPT thing, which is now able to essentially become a person managing different instances. So it's going be really crazy to see how this evolves.

The thing came out two weeks ago and you know with over sixty thousand likes on our stars on getting b this thing is growing very fast. A lot of people are going to be using IT, iterating, IT, forking, IT, making new versions. This things open source um so anyone can you use IT for free. So to be very interesting to watch how this unfilled in the future and will definitely keep you all updated on the development that this make because I think this is a very pivot void point for A I and the future of jobs and what we're going to see as far as the disruption coming out of ai.
