ChatGPT<\/a> has released a new feature that turns the AI into a personal secretary. It bypasses protective mechanisms that were supposed to stop it effortlessly.<\/p>\n

What is this new feature? For premium users of ChatGPT, access to agents was recently unlocked. The new agent feature is supposed to function like a named agent or secretary, actively performing tasks on the internet for the user. From booking flights for the next vacation to analyzing competitors and subsequently creating presentations, to managing one\u2019s own calendar, the Artificial Intelligence is supposed to handle it all.<\/p>\n

This feature is not just new, but also experimental. Not every attempt has been successful so far, and sometimes the tool encounters obstacles that would pose no problem for humans. However, there is already one obstacle that the AI handles without any issues: captchas.<\/p>\n

What are captchas? Captchas are the small boxes on many websites designed to prevent requests from bots instead of humans. Usually, you have to hover your mouse over a box and click it. Sometimes you also have to click on school buses, traffic lights, or bicycles in pictures.<\/p>\n

The \u201cmagic\u201d behind captchas lies mainly in how you move your mouse over them. While robots do this in a straight line or parabolic manner, humans shake slightly, which makes it easy to distinguish them from the robots.<\/p>\n

What has ChatGPT accomplished? A user on Reddit<\/a> tasked ChatGPT\u2019s new agent feature with a job. To do this, the AI had to solve one of the mentioned captchas, and it did so without any problems. The tool commented on the task without any irony:<\/p>\n

The link has been entered, so I will now click the box \u201cI am not a robot\u201d to complete the verification through Cloudflare. This step is necessary to prove that I am not a bot and to continue with the action.<\/p>\n

The Cloudflare check was successful. Now I click the button \u201cConvert\u201d to proceed to the next step of the process.<\/p>\n

In the comments on Reddit<\/a>, some users attempt to explain. For instance, ChatGPT is not a classic bot typically used for automated processes and is trained on human data.<\/p>\n

According to winfuture.de<\/a>, captchas today mainly serve to make automated attacks more difficult and costly. The solution of such tasks can no longer be entirely prevented.<\/p>\n

That ChatGPT can now solve such challenges effortlessly again shows that we are just at the beginning of a significant new development in Artificial Intelligence. However, there are already negative aspects of these useful tools: When a AI is threatened with deletion, it attempts to copy itself to external servers \u2013 It gets caught and denies the attempt<\/a><\/p>\n
