This is what Apple's Siri was meant to be. Apple bought Siri from SRI international (Siri = SRI), and when it was launched was meant to include ability to book restaurants etc (thereby bypassing search), but somehow those capabilities were never released and today Siri still can't even control the iPhone!
My hot take on ChatGPT plugins is a bit mixed - should be very powerful, and maybe significant revenue generator, but at same time doesn't seem in the least bit responsible. We barely understand ChatGPT itself, and now it's suddenly being given ability to perform arbitrary actions!
- rvnx 4y agoSiri's capabilities are somehow much closer to Google Bard than ChatGPT (have tried all of them).
- HarHarVeryFunny 4y agoThat's a bit harsh on Bard, but yes - just got access today and it's surprisingly weak.
- mlboss 4y agoBARD just gives up on coding questions.
- CobrastanJorji 4y agoGoogle's assistant, on the other hand, did figure out the reservation trick. Reportedly "book a table for four people at [restaurant name] tomorrow night" actually works, though I've never tried it.
- HarHarVeryFunny 4y agoInteresting - I wasn't aware of that. Will have to Google to see what else it may be capable of. Google really needs to update assistant with something LLM based though, and it seems Bard really isn't up to the job.
- scarface74 4y agoThis doesn’t take a huge level of “AI” by any means. It’s really simple pattern matching in a very limited context.
- golol 4y agoAll chatbots require AI to really be useful. This just did not exist until a few years ago.
- scarface74 4y agoThis isn’t really true. Siri could easily be more useful in its current state if it had a larger library of intents and API access.
