Fun and satisfaction of curiosity for me.

I think it's inevitable that group chats will involve LLM agents in the future.

    For all the same reasons you talk to humans...

      To find out what’s going on in their lives and to arrange to meet up socially?

        Is that the only thing you talk to your friends about? I mean yeah literally you could talk about your plans [i.e. by yourself or with the other real people] or what's going on in your life and have the bot chime in with thoughts too. You could talk about food, philosophy, politics, travel, complain about stuff, get advice for relationships or work, gossip. All in a group chat setting. It's not hard to imagine a bot that's able to contribute here and there in a meaningful way in any of these subjects, and other unlimited subjects. But perhaps you weren't open to it in the first place so I'm not going to try to convince you further if you don't buy it; If you don't want to really give it consideration then nobody is going to convince you otherwise.

    Ideally? Automatically answering support questions in open source discord channels, automatically taking minutes in business slack conversations. Cynically? Your group chat is hosted by a tech company. That tech company wants to tell investors they've got an LLM, and show user counts going up. And the fastest way to boost user counts on a failing product is to make it an always-on feature of a successful product.

      I don't think your first usecases are applicable to what people normally call "group chats"

Main thought is just that there are tons of situations that involve more than 2 people being in a discussion. some the of links I mentioned in the post get into this with the "facilitator" model. Moderation/mediation is probably the most obvious thing "usecase." I'm more interested in just pushing the limits of what the language models can do and see what kind of things they'll do. There's a corner of the internet interested in these models as a form of "alien intelligence." Don't immediately know what the application would be, but the results are super interesting
