(Uses recurrent langchain loops for introspection and learning about itself and its capabilities as they grow + vector databases like Pinecone for long term memory)

> Auto-GPT is an experimental open-source application showcasing the capabilities of the GPT-4 language model. This program, driven by GPT-4, autonomously develops and manages businesses to increase net worth. As one of the first examples of GPT-4 running fully autonomously, Auto-GPT pushes the boundaries of what is possible with AI.

> This is the same reason ChatGPT cannot yet write programs by itself: in order to do so you'd need to specify the entire program up front (which is exactly what code is). As soon as we have agents that can do a proper feedback loop of querying a LLM consecutively until some heuristic is reached then the kind of AI doctors are looking for will emerge.

Did you miss that Auto-GPT[0], a library for making GPT-4 and other LLMs fully autonomous, was the most popular repository in the world yesterday? The same is having 1,000 line of code a week added to itself by GPT-4.

Thanks to accessibility features, you can do virtually anything with pure text. Which means GPT-4 can do virtually anything with a self-referential loop to keep it going until it achieves some given goal(s).

No, it's any code and even things that aren't code. It will write and revise documentation for you, create jquery, nosql databases, and more. Basically anything a human can do with text files.

If that's not enough for you, projects like Auto-GPT give GPT-4 full autonomy to figure out how to do complex multi-step tasks beyond modifying text all on its own with only a vague goal provided. https://github.com/Torantulino/Auto-GPT

I suspect we’re going to see a lot more of this kind of thing e.g. this is currently at the top of GitHub trending

I’m not sure it ends well.
