ChatGPT as personal assistant: Good Or Dangerous?

Leading artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT is getting that much more integral in our lives these days and it has reached a point where any advancements could lead to a persuasive approach.

In this context, the latest updates are suggesting that ChatGPT could soon be becoming a personal assistant which is dangerously close to a human description.

The latest statement from Sam Altman, who operates AI model ChatGPT has stated that there would be crucial changes to the method of operation of the same.

Today we are launching my favorite feature of ChatGPT so far, called Pulse. It is initially available to Pro subscribers.

Pulse works for you overnight, and keeps thinking about your interests, your connected data, your recent chats, and more. Every morning, you get a custom-generated set of stuff you might be interested in.

It performs super well if you tell ChatGPT more about what's important to you. In regular chat, you could mention “I’d like to go visit Bora Bora someday” or “My kid is 6 months old and I’m interested in developmental milestones” and in the future you might get useful updates.

Think of treating ChatGPT like a super-competent personal assistant: sometimes you ask for things you need in the moment, but if you share general preferences, it will do a good job for you proactively.

This also points to what I believe is the future of ChatGPT: a shift from being all reactive to being significantly proactive, and extremely personalized, he said.

With AI analysing human behaviour and thinking about it overnight, would that spell catastrophic consequences? We shall wait and see.
