Would you ever trust an AI agent running your business? As hilarious as this small experiment is, is there ever a point where you can trust it to run something long term? It might make good decisions for a day, month or a year and then one day decide to trash your whole business.

I’ve just written a small anecdote with GPT3.5, where it lost count of some trivial item quantity incremental in just a few prompts. It might get better for the orders of magnitude from now on, but who’s gonna pay for ‘that one eventual mistake’.

GPT3.5? Did you mean to send this 2 years ago?

Maybe. Did LLMs stop with hallucinations and errors 2 years ago?
