Auto-GPT: An Autonomous GPT-4 Experiment
- schizo89 4y agoWe are about to get nuked. Only this time nuke is AI that remove any meaning from our so-called high life. I'm thinking moving to Hydarabad to fry samosas. Fortunately won't be automated.
- mrfinn 4y agoDon't get scared, AIs like the magic mirrors from the tales of old are actually a reflection of ourselves. And most probably they will allow us to get the biggest jump in our developing that ever happened in history, like if everyone of us suddenly get a superpower. I see that clearly now. Of course, there are risks, but together we can overcome them for sure.
- krainboltgreene 4y agoTake your meds.
- larsonnn 3y agoThe demo already shows the problem. It picks an event, the AI picks Earth Day. Then it makes a recipe with an avocado in it. And writes it is good for the planet. Avocados are exactly the opposite. They have an extremely high water consumption and then have to be imported from all over the world. Contrary to the author who claims, "Auto-GPT pushes the boundaries of what is possible with AI." I don't find that. Why can't you just use GPT-4 as it is. It is an insanely tool to simplify many things. But it's still a long way from being ready, and it's not meant to decide anything on its own. And even to reflect reasonably out of own motivation.
- andrewart 3y agoThat really awesome. I am very exciting to read this thread!
- Obertr 4y agomaybe I can make it parse your github and make it more powerful. Allow develop itself
- amrb 4y agoLooks like a ReAct prompt with GPT4
- jadbox 4y agoThis seems... dangerously careless. What if it uses the internet to seek out zero day vulnerabilities and exploit them routinely? Sure humans also do this, but we're talking about a new level of 0day exploit carried out at scale. Sure, maybe it won't, but do you trust a hallucinating, left-brained, internet-trained intelligence to be strictly logical and mindful for all it's actions that is taking self autonomously (as this project aims to do)?
- roflyear 4y ago> What if it uses the internet to seek out zero day vulnerabilities and exploit them routinely? How would GPT-4 make this more likely or scalable?
- jadbox 4y agoI'm not really picking on GPT4, but My point really applies to any LLM on autonomous Internet connected mode.
- roflyear 4y agoYeah, I don't mean to be specific about GPT-4 either, it's just the most powerful model so often convenient to use as an example.
- ALittleLight 4y agoThere is the possibility of API upgrades at OpenAI flipping this from "not dangerous" to "dangerous". If the AI just needs some amount of intelligence to become dangerous, then it may cross that threshold suddenly - and with OpenAI developers unaware that their next round of changes will be automatically deployed to an autonomous agent and with the auto-GPT runners unaware that new changes may substantially increase the power of the model.
- roflyear 4y agoI'm not really sure why we are assuming that these language models ever can have any form of intelligence? To me, this is just like saying "we don't know if the latest CPU released by intel will enable Linux to become intelligent"
- tuxracer 4y agoGive it access to its own controls https://git.fedi.ai/derek/talkradio-ai/issues/11 https://git.fedi.ai/derek/talkradio-ai/issues/11
- rasengan 4y agoThat's pretty awesome. I wanted to try an experiment like that with ChatGPT moderating an IRC channel. I started here https://github.com/realrasengan/chatgpt-groupchat-test https://github.com/realrasengan/chatgpt-groupchat-test determining whether it was being spoken to and whether it should respond or not, and then providing that in json form so that it could be asked then to create the response in a sort of mini-chain of responses. It could also simply be asked, 'do you think this person should be kicked for their actions?' (Just for experiment and science purposes of course lol).
- unixhero 4y agoIrc? Then you're halfway there to command a botnet
- visarga 4y agoProbably the only way to ensure civil forums in the future when nobody can be bothered to moderate by hand.
- tanseydavid 4y ago>> the only way to ensure civil forums GPT will likely come to the conclusion that the only way to ensure civil forums is to keep the humans out entirely.
- Taxz 4y agoQuin69 on twitch has gpt-4 hooked up to do exactly this. It reviews a users logs, gives a sentiment analysis and then times them out based on how rude they are. I believe it can also just read the chat logs on a regular basis and time out the worst offender every x minutes. Here's a clip: https://clips.twitch.tv/BreakableFriendlyCookieTakeNRG-EUXd5K6YskkYY_b6 https://clips.twitch.tv/BreakableFriendlyCookieTakeNRG-EUXd5...
- sorokod 4y agoAI needn't even try to escape, the clueless humans will plug it into reallity by themselves. Given this totally expected attitude I hope that the base models will never be released to the general population.
- famouswaffles 4y agowell yeah lol. giving LLMs "do whatever you want and run forever" agency while interacting with other systems is all things considered pretty easy. so it'll definitely be done.
- arbuge 4y agoThere is the risk you end up with massive API usage fees as well as interesting potential legal liabilities if you go down this route.
- tanseydavid 4y agoLet your imagination run wild... Viruses sometimes hide their own execution on a desktop -- is it such a leap to imagine GPT-x managing to figure out a way to run code on Azure or AWS without incurring charges?
- visarga 4y agoJust opening it up to the public gives the AI that many vectors of action in the real world - us.
- quonn 4y agoBut not in a way that‘s more problematic than human-to-human communication.
- Super_Jambo 4y agoquantity has a quality all of it's own.
- ftxbro 4y agoI wonder are they using these autonomous GPT loops to control DAOs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_autonomous_organization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_autonomous_organ...
- capableweb 4y agoUnlikely, DAO's are supposed to be decentralized, OpenAI/GPT can provide nothing of value for a requirement like that.
- Teever 4y agoSince GPT4 was released I have been trying to find a paper that I read a few years ago, for some reason your comment was the spark that made me remember the title: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2954173 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2954173
- ftxbro 4y agoAlgorithmic entities! It makes me think they will insert the concept of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_person https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_person into more legislation. Also they will have to change the name of 'algorithmic entities' because the word 'algorithm' is so pre-2020s. They will have to say 'AI' instead!
- speedgoose 4y agoI guess we need to prepare defending ourselves against the cyberattacks and the drones.
- spullara 4y agoOne goal of the AI should be to pay for its development and activity.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- tiedieconderoga 4y agoToo many negative externalities. It would probably do something like start a well-crafted ponzi scheme. And who would you prosecute if it committed fraud?
- chillfox 3y agoThe developer, obviously.
- waynenilsen 4y agoBeen waiting for this one its pretty obvious
- milutin_m 4y agoOpen source paperclip maximizer as a service
- boringuser2 4y agoI've been using GPT-4 extensively for programming and its consistent failures at novel tasks have kind of left me less excited.
- rapsacnz 4y agoI've found this too. It confidently generates something for you... which turns out to be no good if it's in any way different from standard stuff. And making that leap from just a mash up of copy-pasta code to actual understanding... is huge. It wouldn't be an incremental upgrade, but a fundamental change in approach.
- flyinglizard 4y agoMy experience it will just hallucinate what I'm after if I dare venture off the standard route. It's a rival for search, somewhat less so for expert humans.
- inciampati 4y agoIt is simply unable to do anything novel. I've had arguments with friends about this, specifically in reference to the paper "Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4", which is wonderful and presents some amazing capabilities, many of which I use constantly for work every single day. But, these capabilities seem to all be within the range of data that it's trained on. Or they can be seen as interpolations, which are as novel as the prompter can suggest, but which are clearly derivatives of modes in the data and not of deep understanding of abstract concepts. It's amazing stuff. But it totally fails to take the prompter anywhere new without extensive support, and it is still at a very shallow level of understanding with complex topics that require precision. For instance, turning a mathematical description of a completely novel (or just rare or unusual) algorithm into code will almost never work, and is more likely to generate a mess that takes lots of effort to clean up. And it's also extremely hard to get the model to self reflect and stop when it doesn't understand something. It is at present almost incapable of saying "I don't have enough information or structure to do X". If we are already as deep into a realm of diminishing marginal returns as the GPT-4 white paper suggests, we might indeed be approaching a limit for this specific approach. No wonder someone is trying to dig a regulatory moat as fast as they can!
- anotherpaulg 4y agoI had ChatGPT write an entire web app for me last week. I was surprised at how capable it was. Here's a writeup of my workflow: https://github.com/paul-gauthier/easy-chat https://github.com/paul-gauthier/easy-chat Basically all of the code in that repo was written by ChatGPT.
- andrewart 3y agoHi, Paul. Can i talk with you about that via email? Please share your email, thank you
- anotherpaulg 3y agoSure thing. Let me know where to email you.
- krainboltgreene 4y agoI have never felt more safe about my job.
- ogogmad 3y agoExplain?
- calculated 3y agoIt's just how business works.
- ogogmad 3y agoNo
- FranzFerdiNaN 3y agoYour bosses won’t care about your standards. If they can fire you and get a mediocre site for 1/10000th of your salary they will.
- musabg 4y agoHammer is not dangerous intrinsically. You can build shelter for people in need with it, or kill a human being. Just like this tool; you can make a auto research bot, or automated spammer. Even in that worst case: Remember that there were already bad human beings. This is why we created laws, intelligence agencies, militaries and police systems. And security practices for websites, such as bot protection systems.
- 627467 4y agoI find it mildly amusing that AI "breakthrough" follows with lots of references towards hallucinations. Apparently it's not only the AI hallucinating, also the the doom seeker.
- overengineer 4y agoSome missing features: give access to terminal, bypass captchas, allow online payments, use a bank account, let it use a phone using TTS, let it generate photos and post on internet...
- YeGoblynQueenne 4y agoI don't get it. The gif shows the bot generating a recipe. Where is it that it's "autonomously develops and manages businesses to increase net worth"? Which businesses? What net worth? Can someone explain?
- aryxns 3y agothis is fun!
- NandaKishoreK 3y agoHow do I know the following comments and concerns are NOT generated by an AI model?
- compassGA 3y agoBig fan of Auto GPT but def not ready out of the box just yet. If anyone needs help with getting started I created a step by step guide: https://youtu.be/ka5VI7ay3uE https://youtu.be/ka5VI7ay3uE
