Openai climbs a ladder in the AI field every day. The company has started with the launch of ChatGpt in 2022, and now has reached the stage where AI can perform tasks on behalf of users. Openai’s Chatgpt is the ultimate AI chatbot, but Operator is the company’s first super AI agent. Operators can run tasks independently and search the web. This allows the agent to order it, for example, to share a list of groceries, such as sharing a list of groceries. This is definitely Openai’s victory and an important invention in the AI world. Despite the report of the problem, CEO Sam Altman has praised the AI agent. He posted to X (formerly Twitter) that Operator has attracted the attention as Chatgpt. He said, “It’s fun to see people reacting to Operator. I remember the launch of ChatGpt.”
It is true that Operator is one of the first steps to the AI shape we were thinking. Personally, when I thought about AI in the early days, I always thought it was a machine that could do tasks on behalf of me. And now the operator is finally here. At present, only US users are available, but the company will expand agents to other areas.
How is Operator different from Chatgpt?
The main difference between the two platforms is that Chatgpt is chatbot and the operator is an AI agent. Chatgpt needs to chat with a bot and helps find an answer to a query. Operators, on the other hand, support the task on behalf of users on the web. The company explains, “You can operate the web page by displaying, clicking, and scrolling a web page using your own browser.”
Operator can handle a variety of repeated browser tasks, from entering the form and ordering food to creating a Mome. AI enhances its practical applications by using the same interface and tools that people use on a daily basis. This will not only save individual time for individuals, but also open a new path for companies to effectively connect with customers.
As a whole, Chatgpt is useful for improving productivity, and Operator is useful for saving daily task time. Nevertheless, the operator uses some Chatgpt function to execute the assigned task. Openai is a blog, “Operator uses a new model called Computer-Using Agent (CUA). Combining GPT-4O’s vision function and advanced inference, CUA is a graphical user interface (GUI). A button, menu, and text fields that people are trained to talk.
AI came to the hallucinations that had been struggling for a while. Previous reports state that Chatgpt sometimes show hallucinations and provide fake instances. However, in the case of operators, Openai explains that if the operator faces the challenge or error, you can use the reasoning ability to correct itself. If you get stuck and need help, seamlessly return control to users and guarantee a smooth and cooperative experience. However, recently the problem has also been surface.
The operator faces the problem and challenge
According to Quartz reports, the initial users of this tool share criticisms, as the response is slower than the demonstration performance and the same hallucinations of the standard Chatgpt chatbot. 。
In the related account reported by Bezingza, users’ complaints about X were noticed by Openai CEO Sam Altman. One user explained the issues of operators on the news website, and Altuman replied to promptly deal with the problem. However, it is unknown whether this case was a real negligence or another example of the operator’s hallucinations.
However, as these problems become more serious, Sam Altman seems to have confirmed that they need to be solved as soon as possible.
