So when can an AI call up the cable company and negotiate a discount? Asking for a friend.
But seriously, other tasks I've encountered recently that I wish I could delegate to an AI:
- Posting my junk to Craigslist, determining a fair price, negotiating a buyer (pickup only!)
- Scheduling showings to find an apartment, wherein the listing agents are spread over multiple platforms, proprietary websites, or phone contacts
- Job applications -- not forging a resume, but compiling candidate positions with reasoning, and the tedious part were you have to re-enter your whole resume into their proprietary application pipeline app
What strikes me as basic similarities across these types of things, is that they are essentially data-entry jobs which interact with third-party interfaces, with CRM-like follow up requirements, and require "good judgement" (reading reviews, identifying scams, etc).
Possibly unlikely to occur if prompt injection remains possible. I’ll just have my counter party ai prompt inject yours to negotiate a better deal on my behalf.
