Yes it is. Or it very well could be. Agency is trivial to implement in LLMs. https://github.com/microsoft/autogen https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.07924 The intelligence and tool access of the LLM in question is the only thing stopping things from being particularly dangerous (to humanity).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2307.07924/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

I don&amp;#x27;t believe that there&amp;#x27;s anything inherent about LLMs that would make one incapable of recognizing the falsity of an argument made by another LLM. Rather it&amp;#x27;s just the they&amp;#x27;re not all powerful, and struggle with complex tasks when they don&amp;#x27;t have any way of directly checking their code&amp;#x27;s outputs (or error messages), same as humans. There is a lot of recent progress in collaboration between LLMs when they&amp;#x27;re given the ability to run their code and assess their progress…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2307.07924/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

This paper used 3.5, not even 4 and is basically a couple AI agents collaborating to create software. https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.07924 This is another example at multi AI agent collaboration. https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.02485 Getting relevant intelligent text to arbitrary previous text means generating text capable of making decisions.
