Dall-E and GPT-3 are not being used as agents, they are just tool AIs. They have a narrow task - generating images and text. Agents on the other hand need to learn how to act in the environment, while learning to understand the world at the same time.
- elefanten 4y agoHow did you get "imagination" out of gp's comment? They described something quite clearly and it's not reasonably summarized as "imagination". Per gp, bullshit is cynically self-interested pontificating. It's performance. Maybe you could say that the bullshit produced is imaginative, sometimes. But it has nothing to do with "imagination" as a simulation-like capability used for planning and learning.
