OpenAI's AI Agent Has to Be Monitored Nonstop to Catch Its Constant Screwups
OpenAI's new AI agent, Operator, isn't trustworthy or reliable enough to work without constant user supervision.

OpenAI has finally debuted "Operator," its very own AI agent, a type of autonomous model designed to do digital tasks on your behalf like shopping for groceries online.
But calling it an AI "toddler" might be more fitting. As a Bloomberg reporter describes her experience using OpenAI's new toy, the experimental tech needs a "lot of adult supervision," frequently screwing up and asking for help when it gets stuck.
It's also pretty sluggish, as echoed by other users, and slow on the uptake — as a still-developing brain might be.
I think I'd sooner expect a pet to learn how to walk itself."For several agonizing moments, I watched as OpenAI's artificially intelligent agent slowly navigated the internet like someone who's had the web described to them in great detail but never actually used it," wrote Bloomberg's Rachel Metz. "I had to monitor it the entire time."
