Research paper argues Age of Empires II has human-like attributes if LLMs do

By PulseAugur Editorial · [6 sources] ·

A new research paper proposes that if large language models (LLMs) exhibit human-like attributes, then the classic real-time strategy game Age of Empires II should also be considered to possess such qualities. The paper, available on arXiv, draws parallels between the emergent behaviors and capabilities of LLMs and the complex decision-making and strategic depth found within the game. AI

IMPACT Explores philosophical parallels between AI capabilities and complex game mechanics, prompting new ways to think about AI.
