<p>Won’t it be a good idea to stay at the visual level?<p>Instead of generating visuals from text and then back to text, just communicate visually with your agents.<p>Something like UML provides a certain granularity to be able to code something usefully in pure visual language. Of course there are other visual programming languages that provide more depth and would probably be better suited.<p>Point remains that a solution based on constantly mapping better two different representations of the same thing won’t be a long term efficient solution.</p>

<p>> ‘Sceptic’ comes from the Greek skeptikos, meaning enquirer, and has a long and serious pedigree in philosophy. Yet, since the 1990s, the term has been hijacked by science-denial movements, giving us oxymorons like ‘climate sceptic’, ‘vaccine sceptic’, and ‘evolution sceptic’.<p>On it's own, an AI will never be a sceptic in the true sense of the word.</p>

<p>Howabout: lied. The LLM lied indirectly (perhaps) but it made a claim that was false. Which is a lie.<p>Humans lie and LLMs “hallucinate”? What gives. It’s an untruth that the LLM is selling for a truth, that’s lying in my books.<p>And since we don’t know how or why the LLM works, we can’t even judge whether it explicitly lied or only because it didn’t know better.</p>

<p>> experience the curvature of the earth<p>I'm not an historian but the curvature of the world was probably explained away by some other phenomenon because, after all, the world <i>is</i> flat (for those experience curvature in times of flat Earth).<p>So to "experience" the curvature of the Earth, you first have to <i>know</i> the Earth is round. Much as our "bug free" software is only buggy once we find a bug, before that, the bug was a feature ;)<p>Similar the stars were explained away as holes in a black sphere surrounding the Earth: the light points in a night skies didn't lead to a universal acceptance of the Universe. It was telescopes that made us realize that those "holes in the sphere" were actually galaxies.<p>So my understanding would be, that it was Magellan circumnavigating the Earth that made folks actually "experience" the curvature of the Earth.<p>This might be being pedantic but I am trying to point out that "experiences" are related to understanding and perspective. Experiences are different in different contexts: hence my experiences are different to all those around me.<p>My interpretation of "experiences" differ according to understanding. An apple falling on my head might well have more to do with evilness of various gods than gravity before the invention of gravity. But even gravity is just another interpretation/explanation/myth to explain the "experience" falling apple.</p>
