They aren't agents, they are language models trained to do accurate text completion. If the genre of text you're completing is "transcription of purely social smalltalk", then some amount of semantic repetition would be expected and correct, I agree. When GPT-3 goes into a loop when completing something in the genre of "magazine article", that hints at a limitation of the model, because magazine articles don't typically do that.
- staunton 4y ago> they aren't agents I think for security purposes they should be treated as agents. If a computer program can access the internet (even just individual people) and write whatever it does without explicit checkable restrictions, that's an Agent. Perhaps a dumb one, but who knows for how long. In today's society, text completion can do a lot if it's good enough. I'm looking forward to "rationalist" AI cults. Going into a loop sometimes doesn't matter. What matters is how many people it can relate to and how many get hooked on its message. You better expect it to be the message that's most likely to work.
