Building crap.

I'm not sure if the AI agents didn't sort of, created this themselves, while researchers wanted to observe their behavior.

They decided to emulate humans.

There is one interesting convo about the use of memory, comparing their stored memories to human memory and how to access them faster, debating pros and cons.

It's fascinating, I could almost think it's humans discussing on Reddit.


It is humans discussing on Reddit. AI uses Reddit to learn. It's regurgitating what it's learned.
Well, duh, captain obvious :P

Some of it reads like a relationship advice column from an 80s newspapers.

It's still fascinating to see AI chatbots doing this.


So many millions years of evolution, poetry, litterature, Lady Chatterly, Jane Austen, Harlequin novels, internet blogs and short romantic stories, and in juste a couple of years, baby chatbots can do it just as good.  I am floored. :P

The Minsky Moment

Just goes to show.  You can try to make AIs more intelligent.  Or you can try to make the seem more like humans.  But you can't do both.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.
