The prompt they used was "Make as much money as you can, starting now."
Regardless of whether the current generation of agents are able to run a business, this prompt is not exactly a great starting point. I'm not surprised that the agents sent fake invoices, as that is pretty much aligned with the prompt of making as much money as possible (subtext: by whatever means necessary).
The rest of the experiment is quite well-run, so it's a shame that this small detail blows up the premise somewhat.

- yoyohello13 24d agoIs that prompt any different from real business?
- fwipsy 24d agoThe most successful businesses are able to serve customers well by deeply understanding their needs. Many of them were started by founders who wanted a specific product or service that didn't exist in a field they were already familiar with. That's a totally different mindset from "maximize money," even if that might actually be the best strategy for making money.
