A research paper titled "If LLMs Have Human-Like Attributes, Then So Does Age of Empires II" by Adrian de Wynter challenges the notion that large language models possess unique anthropomorphic qualities. The study proposes a 'null' assumption, suggesting that LLMs are not inherently unique and that similar attributes can be found in other complex systems. To support this, the paper demonstrates that the video game Age of Empires II is functionally and Turing-complete, exhibiting characteristics comparable to LLMs. AI
IMPACT Challenges the anthropomorphic view of LLMs, suggesting focus should be on substrate and measurement criteria rather than perceived unique attributes.
