Happy Sunday!

Welcome to Ponderer's 8th edition.

We left our taxes for the last minute, of course. 🤦‍♂️

And we can't help but ponder, where is an autonomous AI accountant when you need one?! One we can trust, have a beer with and talk about life and numbers. 🤷‍♂️

Here are 1 idea to ponder, 2 resources to skill up, and 3 tools to try out.

Let’s do it.

ChatGPT vs. AutoGPT

ChatGPT's Co-Dependent Loop vs. AutoGPT Self-Dependent Loop

. The Big Idea .

ChatGPT, yesterday:

  • Human input → AI output → AI needs more human input to continue.

  • Human input = prompts with a high probability of human error.

  • Based on an infinite loop of co-dependency.

AutoGPT, today:

  • Human input → Goal → AI output until the goal is accomplished.

  • AI output = AI "sub-agents" self-prompting to reach goal.

  • Based on an infinite loop of self-dependency.

Tomorrow:

Complete self-sufficiency?

You would've been called a *lunatic* a year ago if you said we'd have GPT-4 level AI right now. — Mckay Wrigley

🐻 Bearly: GPT-4 crafted a 90-day plan to reach 1 million Twitter followers. Why would Ricky ask for such a thing? Can AutoGPT do it for him? So much to ponder.

🔮 Future: Envision a whimsically swift future where AutoGPT crafts your desires with a snap; kiss tedious hiring, pesky coding, and bothersome bugs goodbye.

⏳ Time: If one dog year equals seven human years. Why does one week in AI feel like one year in this place we call the "real world?"
