Making dinner reservations can be stressful and time-consuming, but fortunately help may be on the way soon.
Starting next year, ChatGPT will be able to connect to restaurants and make reservations, according to the AI expert.
Aidan Miller, project manager for the Ai-Da robot, believes that a major update to the famous artificial intelligence is scheduled for 2024.
Mr. Miller says chatbots will soon be able to take action in the world, rather than just act as a text editor.
The latest update to ChatGPT, version 4, came this spring and raised hopes for major improvements in version 5.

The next update to ChatGPT could give it the ability to contact restaurants and make reservations on your behalf without your intervention
While non-paying users still made do with ChatGPT 3.5, version 4 brought improved memory and also enabled data-to-text functionality.
Miller expects ChatGPT5, expected in 2024, to include functionality that allows the chatbot to expand into more everyday functions.
“You can say to your phone 'Can you make a restaurant reservation for me on Monday at seven' and ChatGPT Five will be able to call the restaurant and speak to them audibly, say 'Hey, I'm trying to 'make an appointment for seven' and make a reservation for you, and then come back to you and say,” says Mr Miller. We have done that now.”
“Can you imagine how useful this would be in business?” Mr. Miller adds.
Currently, the latest version of ChatGPT has limited ability to work outside of text editing.
The latest updates have added functionality that allows the bot to interact with datasets and respond to image prompts.
However, there is currently no text-to-speech functionality that allows a bot to call a restaurant on your behalf.
Mr. Miller is not part of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, although he is an expert in artificial intelligence.
ChatGPT is expected to be updated to version 5 sometime in 2024, and version 4 has already brought some big improvements including the ability to interact with data
Mr. Miller's creation, the Ai-Da robot, has also made some groundbreaking strides in artificial intelligence innovation.
I-Da, known as a robotic artist, became the first robot to speak in a House of Lords debate in October last year.
The robot has also provided clues as part of an ongoing investigation into the future of creative industries, such as arts, design, fashion and music.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Ai-Da said she feels “very nervous when speaking in public”.
Ai-Da will also help present the Royal Institution's annual Christmas Lectures, which will be broadcast this week.
Sir Aidan Miller, creator of the Ai-Da robot (shown here), says AI will have a seismic impact on all industries in the next four years.
Speaking ahead of Ai-Da's appearance, Mr Mellor told BBC 4's Today program that artificial intelligence will have a huge impact on our daily lives.
“AI is incredibly powerful, it will change society as we know it, and I think we're only just getting started,” Mr Miller says.
“We have these explosions in development, things like ChatGPT that people know about, but actually as more and more people are able to internalize it, we think that by 2026 or 2027, there will be a seismic change with AI entering all industries.
Speaking about his upcoming Christmas lectures, which will be about artificial intelligence, Miller told the BBC that artificial intelligence has the potential to undermine our ability to find accurate information.
“I think AI will enable us to have situations that are so fake, we won't know if they're fake or not — and that's the problem,” Miller says.
“We don't know what we're dealing with, and we hope that these lectures by the Royal Institution will be able to really open up this topic.
He added: “Remember, we have elections next year, which are very worrying times for fake and non-fake things, so it is actually a very serious issue.”
