2. Limitations of ChatGPT by Design
| 1 No Access to Private Data | 2 Cannot Operate Real-World Systems | 3 No Long-Term Memory | 4 Cannot Handle Complex Multi-Step Planning | 5 Cannot Guarantee 100% Accuracy | 6 Context Window Limitations | 7 Poor Stability for Long Tasks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Examples: Company internal knowledge bases, emails, contracts, user data, CRM | Examples: Sending emails, creating calendar events, creating Jira tickets, querying databases, payments, code deployment | ChatGPT is stateless by default. It doesn’t remember: who the user is, past behavior, preferences, long-term goals | Although LLMs can reason, they are unstable, prone to skipping steps, and don’t self-correct | LLMs suffer from hallucinations | Example: 1000k tokens limit; excess data is lost | Example: 100-step tasks tend to forget steps and deviate from goals |
| Solution: RAG systems | Solution: Function Tools | Solution: Memory systems | Solution: Agent systems | Solution: Tool verification, retrieval grounding, rule engines | Solution: Chunking, retrieval | Solution: Agent loops |
3. Tasks Unsuitable for ChatGPT
| 1 Precise Calculations | 2 Database Queries | 3 Large-Scale Data Processing |
|---|---|---|
| Examples: Financial calculations, statistics, scientific computing | Examples: LLM-generated SQL, database execution | Examples: Processing millions of records |
