Were you using it with gpt3 or 4? Personally, I can’t get gpt4 api access despite being a PI at a well known research institution with a project that would be great publicity for OpenAI. My theory is that people are running it mostly with 3 and then saying it’s useless. It definitely is useless with 3.

I've used GPT4, and never got it really do anything useful.
Same here, tried both autoGPT and autoGPT.js with GPT-4, kept failing at even the simplest of tasks.
Same experience here, I really wanted it to work but it often got stuck in errors or infinite loops. Hoping it'll improve in the next few months.
Same here with GPT-4 via ChatGPT Plus
Are you an OpenAI user who has a valid payment method attached to your account? I've notice they approve GPT-4 as long as you have a valid payment method and a reasonable justification, which in my case one liner.
There's a waiting list to use the GPT-4 API. https://openai.com/waitlist/gpt-4-api

Anecdotally (and unsurprisingly), they seem to be prioritising those with "value-add" use cases in a variety of industries over individuals just wanting to play.

A waiting list that gave preferential treatment to YC companies, that is. This is according to a recent lawsuit that was filed against OpenAI.
Yes. I think LangChain fills in a lot of the problems and it becomes more like programming. So instead of having it “reason” about the results and plans just code those in and sometimes call a LLM when it makes sense.

Right now it’s extremely chaotic since there’s no human correction in the process so the errors compound until you quickly reach incoherence
