The AI can ask me questions (to the degree a reasonable human assistant would) but will otherwise take care of everything. Must be a general purpose AI, not just specialised for this one task.

Unquestionably resolves as β€œno” for this year. Models are certainly capable of working with a booking system that does this, but until the basic arithmetic issues are ironed out, no provider or consumer is going to want to authorize a bot to make free use of their credit card. Imagine waking up one morning to find it booked you a flight to Aruba on Christmas Eve because you said you wanted to go home for Christmas! (And you are from Saudi Arabia πŸ˜…)

This is NO, not if it is commercially available. It may be YES for non-commercially available ones.

The simple reason is no company will take that risk.

you.

Definitions are funny. If a general purpose AI, leverages an API for a specialised AI, to book your flights, then it's not a general purpose AI that books flights, it's a general purpose AI which had been modified to use a specialised flight booking AI to book flights. This is what open AI does with it's plugins. Vanilla chatgpt can't do Wolfram alpha stuff, but it can use an API to do Wolfram alpha stuff.

predicted YES

https://main.df6o8i0dpluj0.amplifyapp.com/ app was made using GPT-3 before autogpt era and all that, and here's the blog post accompanying it:

https://betterprogramming.pub/revolutionizing-data-collection-with-ai-and-nlp-using-a-chatbot-to-easily-book-a-flight-559df4b18b55

I also remember seeing a demo by expedia something where they demo "AI travel assistant"

predicted YES

@firstuserhere disclaimer: i only played with the app on a surface level, and didn't actually book a flight or anything

@firstuserhere Thanks, I'll try it!

This seems basically doable right now as a weekend project

I'm guessing Siri/Alexa aren't considered ai?

@RogerYang I would consider them if they are able to perform this action independently.

@Nostradamnedus Hmm so without giving them any initial input, they have to piece together that you want to book a flight?

@RogerYang I request them to perform this action.

Will the AI handle the payment too?

@milanw Yes, although it can ask for a password or a CCV or similar.
