It might have the opposite effect. What's the point of making convoluted websites full of ads if no one sees them. Or maybe they'll have to make them worse to trap human attention when the bot gets stumped.

[@bobdobsin6216]

@dogprez I'm less worried about the websites than about the "people" which will be on them. Bots that seem very human, and perhaps even start life by posting innocuous stuff snd building a human looking history - but ultimately they just exist to try and sell stuff, or steal your identity, or whatever else.

[@taicunmusic]

The "vocal fry" was most prominently featured in this presentation

[@Benedict-01]

Next step: remove GUI, instead put a server sided AI operator on the business' website which the client AI operator talks to, they negotiate the matter among themselves. When done, result gets communicated to the user by client AI operator. -> webdesign, web programming, websites, web browser, keyboard, mouse, touchscreen: all obsolete.

[@someghosts]

And if the website is for business that is a retailer or store, the operator could skip them entirely and just talk to the factory direct. If the product the user was trying to buy from the website is something like a chair, desk or laptop for a human to use to perform a task, you could use operator instead of the human, removing the need to purchase the product in the first place. If / when day comes when one of these things is obsolete, many other things will too, either that day or shortly after I think. Which is the scary part

[@taganaafaw3970]

CEO of Microsoft already mentioned it. Current Web Interface will be obsolete once all browsing will be mostly by Agent. Only APi is needed & final results will be in a human readable format Same thing with email exchange

[@martin7462]

A bug problem I see with this, which hasn't be discussed, is the AI's 'bias' on which platforms or services to use. Will it use Opentable by default by virtue of its training data, pushing out its competitors? This would lead to a world of 'ai marketing', where it's not humans deciding on the underlying apps they want to use in most cases, but ai agents that have been trained to bias towards one app over another. The same goes for products. If I want 'eggs', will there be a bias if unspecified, towards specific brand of eggs? I can't imagine a statistically significantly number of people will be prompting "please buy local products over those from large chains". This could introduce a very very strong incentive for companies to "buy a particular bias", and change marketing as we know it. The marketing phase is effectively training data + a statistically insignificant number of humans manually prompting AI with great detail.

It's called a headless Chromium browser bot in Node.js. Millions of developers have been using it since 2017 for tasks like view generation, video watching, and capturing screenshots. The difference is that developers typically set static tasks, such as logging into a target form, clicking buttons, watching videos, or performing specific actions. However, in this case, the AI dynamically converts user input into Node.js programming for more dynamic tasks. So, I don't think this is something entirely new.

In all seriousness, have any of the openAI developers thought about the point of all this? Ask yourself this question: do you think people hate doing things?

What's the endgame if all of this actually works as advertised? I worked in tech and know this for a fact: we get so focused on the solution we forget what we are solving for. Are we trying to augment the human experience or homogenize it?

Interesting. Can the operator be used to buy, for example, flight tickets or concert tickets as soon as they become available? It would need additional details like a passport, name, and surname, and it would have to run every 5 or 10 minutes to check availability if they sell out very quickly.

No. That's not how AI works. It's trained on human behavior and so it behaves like a human. Be nice to ChatGPT, it will be nice(r) to you.

This is a big moment. Soon, agents will be filling out applications for us on our behalf, and AI will automate much of the thinking required for the most sought-after jobs. People who know how to use AI and talk to it will get jobs, not just AI itself. But AI will eventually replace most humans in the loop. Why? Because humans improve slower than AI, which improves at a rate faster than Moore’s Law! Awesome work Open AI! 👏🏾

Wow! APIs didn't know they were next in line to get replaced. Great idea. I see a lot of potential in this.

[@olivermolnarpublic]

APIs won't be replaced since they are a deterministic way to a solution. Sophisticated systems will still rely on it, especially in business applications.

[@ReginaCæliLætare]

I wouldn't trust it. Imagine you show up and the AI messed up your reservation on their side, or didn't book it at all. I suppose it will get better with time, but I don't think I'll use it until I no longer have the choice.

[@rahh000]

But remember that on the end operator ask you does the reservation details are ok (confirmation) so even when some mistakes happend with reservation.. sorry.. but the fault is also yours:)

[@Zenith-n3f]

interesting perspective but why not use it until there is no option left?

[@ReginaCæliLætare]

@ No, I'm talking on the receiving end. How can you be certain the hotel didn't receive a completely different date and time from the AI? Or no booking at all, because of some error, but the AI says it's booked. I don't trust LLMs enough to do tasks like that without making a mistake.

[@InwardRTMP]

[@Moomoo54546]

This is what everyone says before new technology comes out and then after 10 or 15 years it becomes a normal part of everyday life. There’s always a learning curve and developers perfect the program over time.

[@hirefiedinc6313]

We have come to this now! This is a 5 day job for a team of 2 engineers to build something like this and offer it for a lot a lot cheaper. For a lot of stuff you can simply use platform's API and for others you can use a browser.

[@Adam-k5d5e]

What’s the use case here? It took far too long to make a reservation at the restaurant. We still have to repeatedly instruct the model on what to do. Why can’t we, for example, make a reservation directly through an API? This way, the model wouldn’t need to navigate through the website step by step but could complete the process much faster and more efficiently via the API.

[@andyzhanmusic]

I'm guessing it's because then you'd require an API, and be restricted to the API's functionality. Whereas Operator can technically be used anywhere.

[@wtl912]

Not all websites have an api, and even those with a public api may not expose all the functionality.

[@olivermolnarpublic]

Also, browsing web pages could inspire for new ideas and thus decisions. If your AI knows you very well it might come back to you and tell you there might be better options for what you are looking for while browsing.
