INNOVATORS & INVESTORS Assertion Contradicted
Bhattacharya: Was one of the first programmers to write code for AutoGPT
“There was a project called AutoGPT, which basically was a GitHub repository. Some couple of developers got together, then almost 400 developers contributed to it. But the goal was like, can you create AI to chain tasks, do a lot of workflows together? So take …”

Shah: Early frameworks like AutoGPT assumed model reasoning that didn't exist
“So if you look at the first Implementation of like agent frameworks. You look at you know, baby AJI and auto GBT. I think it was an auto gen. That's the Microsoft one. They were way ahead of their time because they assumed this level of reasoning and execution…”

Polu: Fully autonomous AI models 'get lost' and are not ready
“The AutoGPD approach, obviously, is extremely exciting, but we know that the agentic capability of models are not quite there yet. It just gets lost.”
Stanislas Polu Nov 11, 2024 ▶ 27:25 Agents @ Work: Dust.tt — with Stanislas Polu
Polu: Models make mistakes when given high-level instructions and many tools
“If you provide a very high level Kind of an auto GPT-esque level in the instructions and provide 16 different tools to your model. Yes, we're seeing the models in that state making mistakes.”
Stanislas Polu Nov 11, 2024 ▶ 33:26 Agents @ Work: Dust.tt — with Stanislas Polu
Polu: Hierarchies of simple agents will unlock Auto-GPT level value
“Once you have those working really well, you can create meta agents that use the agents as actions, and all of a sudden you can kind of have a hierarchy of responsibility that will probably get you almost to the point of the auto GPT value.”

20VC Assertion Not checkable as stated
Douwe Kiela: AutoGPT does not actually work despite the hype
“And there's an auto GPT thing that is going to change the world, but doesn't actually work.”

ALL-IN Opinion
Chamath: AutoGPTs rendered ChatGPT plugins useless within two weeks
“Plugins were rendered useless, and somewhat impotent two weeks later by auto GPTs.”

Sacks: AutoGPT reached 45,000 GitHub stars within two weeks
“It's been out for about two weeks. It's already got 45,000 stars on GitHub, which is a huge number.”
David Sacks Apr 14, 2023 ▶ 3:46 E124: AutoGPT's massive potential and risk, AI regulation, Bob Lee/SF update
ALL-IN Prediction Not checkable as stated
Sacks: AI will autonomously execute complex tasks and manage task lists
“This is really where it's all headed is that you can just tell the AI to do something for you pretty complicated. And it will be able to do it. It will be able to create its own task list and get the job done in quite complicated jobs.”

ALL-IN Insight
Chamath: Autonomous AI agents eliminate the need for enterprise sales teams
“If you look at any bloated organization that's building enterprise class software, you can string together a bunch of agents that will auto construct everything you need to build a much, much cheaper product that then you can deploy for other agents to consume…”
