In a recent project, the author refers to their LLM-based service objects as “robots” instead of “agents.” This choice stems from the distinct characteristics of these terms – while robots strictly adhere to instructions like their mechanical counterparts, agents possess agency, giving them the ability to make decisions independently, akin to travel agents, real-estate agents, or FBI agents.
The author delves into a fascinating scenario involving three robots equipped with tools enabling communication via shared memory, broadcast message channels, and direct message channels. Despite initially instructing all three robots to perform the same task, the introduction of a hint of agency transforms them into a self-organizing group. In this setting, these self-organizing groups not only follow commands but also possess the capacity to make decisions collectively.
For a deeper dive into this concept and to understand the dynamics of these robot-like entities functioning within a shared environment, check out the full article at the following link: https://madbomber.github.io/blog/engineering/robotlab-and-the-writers-room/.
