> AI agents are rational agents. They make rational decisions based on their perceptions and data to produce optimal performance and results. An AI agent senses its environment with physical or software interfaces (AWS) my reply was to this definition, where the adjective "rational" was used with the noun "agents" by AWS, so it's obvious they're not talking about Human agents. > When people use phrases like "rational decisions" it is generally a statement of intent. I frequently hear on the news something like "the terrorists are rational". They completely missing the point that an agent might be rational (i.e. optimizing) for one variable, while they projecting it on a completely diffrerent variable. I.e. for non-textbook toy problems agents usually have lots of variables they care about, so when you talking about rationality you should specify that specific variable, and not generalize that b/c they're somewhat rational at one thing, they will be rational at all other things.
