Sandizer - we've gone back and forth on this a couple times so maybe it's better to discuss here. I don't believe the sources support the unqualified claim that AutoGPT can meaningfully improve itself. If I'm missing something from the sources I apologize, though perhaps that warrants a more in-depth explanation with citations. My main concern with describing the self-improvement is that it can be misunderstood as suggesting AutoGPT is capable of a singularity-style self-improvement cycle. While I'm sure AutoGPT can non-trivially edit its Python harness code, it certainly cannot update the GPT model that provides all the seriously non-trivial power of the program. For context (I know this is original research), Auto-GPT is about 4000 lines of Python code, compared to presumably several terabytes behind the GPT model. Self-improvement to the python code is a very different thing than self-improvement to the model. StereoFolic (talk) 18:00, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would go a bit further and state that at present there are no examples of it understanding or changing those 4000 lines of Python, and it can't in any meaningful way. Those files aren't available unless manually copied into its workspace. That is why I changed "rewrite" to "write". What is meant, and what the Toronto Sun headline and narrative in that and other sources actually mean, is that it can write, store, and reuse programs from scratch, and debug them when they don't work correctly. An example which works is "Write a program to print the first N prime numbers. Modify that program to only print odd prime numbers. Then use the modified program to print the first 20 odd primes." I agree we should add a sentence clarifying the meaning of "its own code" as not including the Auto-GPT base system or anything having to do with the GPT LLMs. Sandizer (talk) 18:14, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
