OpenAI deputizes ChatGPT to serve as an agent that uses your computer

: LLM given keys to the web, told to behave and observe safeguards

A chatbot for our purposes is a large language model that accepts an input prompt and produces a response. An agent also tries to respond to some human directives by wielding a set of tools and services, often taking several steps to complete whatever mission a human instructed it to perform.

Unleashing LLMs to perform actions on websites, and even make purchases, entails a higher level of risk than simply bantering with a chatbot. OpenAI saves its cautionary boilerplate about potential downsides until the end of its post, which is easy to miss if your eyes glaze while perusing the gallery of congratulatory benchmark scores."This release marks the first time users can ask ChatGPT to take actions on the web," the AI biz says.

"For example, a malicious prompt hidden in a webpage, such as in invisible elements or metadata, could trick the agent into taking unintended actions, like sharing private data from a connector with the attacker, or taking a harmful action on a site the user has logged into," OpenAI explains.
