it's not really able to make curl requests it can just generate it

At least with GPT-4, you can use [input from https://www.example.com] to feed it input to analyze, if you do it twice it will automatically compare both sources. You can then even say "compare in a table". So, maybe not curl but definitely doing requests.

Well, it seems trivial to write a program that uses GPT API and curl request to feed GPT. Or am I missing something?

left to it's own devices I reckon it'd be a real feat to generate a GPT-based tool that takes over the world. What prompts? What's the most impressive thing?

Say we had a GPT bot that built it's own social media, somehow. How did it get there? what was the initial prompt? "write to yourself via this api to figure out audience growth until you gain 100k followers then wait for further instruction, use any tool and leverage this name and credit card number if you need to pay for any tools or supplies"

Idk just brainstorming really have no idea what it'll do. Will build this weekend and see what happens I guess.

Reminded me of this scenario: https://nautil.us/the-last-invention-of-man-236814

Thanks for sharing this! I looked for it before but couldn't remember the article name or source.
