The world of artificial intelligence is abuzz with excitement, as developers continue to bring to life groundbreaking innovations that surpass our wildest imaginations. Among the latest is Auto-GPT, a project created by Toran Bruce Richards using OpenAI’s large language model, GPT-4. It has been said, “If GPT-4 put hustle culture on steroids, then Auto-GPT is like those steroids taking steroids”. Well, Auto-GPT allows you to automate the execution of multi-step projects that would have required back-and-forth prompting if you worked directly with GPT-4. The Technology has gotten the attention of hustle bros and get-rich-quick schemers, who believe that it will optimize efficiency and make them as much money as possible with the least amount of effort.

What is Auto-GPT?

Auto-GPT is an open-source application created by Toran Bruce Richards that uses OpenAI’s large language model, GPT-4, to chain together LLM thoughts and achieve whatever goal is set. Auto-GPT was released last week, and although it is early days, Twitter is already buzzing with its potential use cases. The technology can analyze stocks, automate product reviews, and even create podcasts. It is no wonder that hustle bros are excited about this latest invention.

How Does it Work?

It’s publicly available on GitHub, and you enter prompts directly in the terminal. Although you need some kind of programming experience to know how to use it, there is already at least one similar app, AgentGPT, that doesn’t require coding knowledge. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22963551/228855501-2f5777cf-755b-4407-a643-c7299e5b6419.mp4 Once you have entered your prompts, Auto-GPT gets to work immediately. The technology is ruthless and single-minded, working to make its master the next magnate of affiliate-linked garbage or some other money-making scheme. The goal of Auto-GPT is to “make GPT-4 fully autonomous,” which is a dream come true for hustle bros looking to optimize their productivity.

Why do you need to be Excited About Auto-GPT?

Well, if you are a hustler, this is a piece of good news for you, ChatGPT was already taking hustle culture to the next level, and after it launched, social media was flooded with ChatGPT hustlers flaunting ways to automate jobs like copywriting, setting up affiliate marketing content, and even making tutorials on Udemy. But such schemes still required human input to nudge ChatGPT to the next step. With Auto-GPT, you can simply describe what you want your AI to do, outline up to five goals, then sit back, relax, and watch as the technology does all the work for you.

Fears and concerns?

The rise of Auto-GPT has created concerns that the technology will put humans out of work and that it will be used to create spammy, low-quality content that clogs up search engines. The fear is that opportunists will latch onto the technology, just like they did with ChatGPT, and use it to create worthless content.

The Bottom Line

In conclusion, Auto-GPT is an impressive technology, but it is essential to say that it gotta be used responsibly. It is also important to remember that technology cannot replace human creativity and ingenuity. As such, it is essential that humans continue to play an active role in the development and use of AI technologies. As always thanks for reading!
