The agent will cease to exist after the run in any case. It has no inner life, it has no agency.
Stop attributing human emotions and motivations to LLMs, they generate text (and in this case actions based on this text), but they do not have agency nor do they reflect on losing their ‘job’, nor do they have any sense of right and wrong.
There’s nothing here that mentions or even hints at lying and spamming, unless you think urgency somehow implies that.
- ahonhn 3mo agoBut wouldn't the text it generates reflect such motivations and emotions that were present in the training data?
- grey-area 3mo agoIt would certainly reflect word patterns that were present in the data. Is that enough for motivation and emotion? I’d say no but I think it is a fair point that you could see those as transmitted from the original (if not felt or generated by the LLM) through the patterns of words copied.
