I want ChatGPT to be able to perform tasks

General

For example:

  • “Hey, ChatGPT, remind me to call Grandma in an hour.”
  • “Buy two tickets to the showing of ‘Star Trek Wars: Kirk Kenobi Strikes Back’ and charge it to my Visa.”
  • “Check my list of grocery staples and place an order at Walmart for me.”
  • “Call Beth and let her know I’m going to be late tonight because I’m stuck in an all-hands-on-deck meeting at work.”

You really don’t. LLMs need to become much more consistent and free from hallucinations before they can be trusted to do anything beyond generating content in isolation.

It seems like they should be working on this for Alexa and Siri, starting with their current capabilities. They could gradually expand their functionalities while maintaining safety boundaries. I love the grocery idea, as long as it only adds items to your cart, allowing you to review and click Buy.

This is achievable with Agentic AI; in fact, it’s relatively easy to implement some of the features you mentioned.
