Introduction
What if you could automate any task simply by saying what you want to achieve?
You’ve probably already heard about ChatGPT - the system from OpenAI that can write and debug software, generate essays, write poetry and more. You can give it tasks in plain English (“please write a haiku on why AI is not a threat to humanity”). Some tasks are one-shot - you get back exactly what you need after one interaction. Most often in my experience though it take a few attempts. The generated code is not quite right, or the answer doesn’t quite make sense to you. Sometimes you need to give ChatGPT some more background knowledge because it can’t search the internet by itself.
What if you could automate all that?
What if you could give ChatGPT a goal and it would work out what it needed to do to achieve that goal and then do it. Without you needing to do anything else?
That’s the promise of Auto-GPT systems.
