That’s ridiculous. Literally everything can be controlled by a computer by telling people what to do with emails, voice calls, etc.
Yet GPT doesn’t even get past step 1 of doing something unprompted in the first place. I’ll become worried when it does something as simple as deciding to start a small business and actually does the work.
