This is quite the paper!
It gave 25 AI agents motivations & memory, and put them in a simulated town.
Not only did they engage in complex behavior (including throwing a Valentine’s Day party) but the actions were rated more human than humans roleplaying. https://t.co/G7oJW1S3na https://t.co/d7Gp4sXp4V
Wow, the original Wilhelm Scream!
