• Users can also attach files for deeper context to their queries, helping the AI to dig up more precise information.  

• Each Pro user can currently make 100 queries a month, with promises for more efficiency down the line.  

💡 Takeaway: OpenAI's latest feature could change the way professionals approach research tasks, providing a tool that combines in-depth analysis with efficiency. However, it may also create challenges for entry-level job seekers in fields where research skills are critical, as AI takes on tasks traditionally held by humans.

🌏️ ChatGPT Operator: Early Tester Pros and Cons

🐝 The Buzz: Early adopters are putting OpenAI's new ChatGPT Operator to the challenge, trying out tasks from job hunting to automated emailing. While it's showing potential, it still has some hiccups that make users second-guess their reliance on it.  

• Early users are testing the ChatGPT Operator for tasks like scanning job listings and uploading resumes to manage in Google Sheets, along with filtering Facebook Marketplace and automatically messaging sellers with offers.

• The operator often struggles with more complex requests, leading to incomplete results and some confusion about its abilities. Users have reported slow performance and occasional mistakes, such as searching the wrong websites or missing out on simpler functions. 

• Despite these challenges, the operator is seen as a step forward in autonomous AI capabilities as it navigates online tasks more effectively than previous versions.  

💡 Takeaway: It’s like having a new intern who shows promise but gets lost at the coffee machine sometimes, and can’t finish a task. Understanding its strengths and weaknesses helps set realistic expectations for anyone looking to incorporate AI into their daily tasks.
