If LLMs Have Human-Like Attributes, Then So Does Age of Empires II
Hacker News (AI keywords)·19 hours ago·Paper
The paper argues that claims about LLMs having human-like attributes, such as morality or language understanding, can be methodologically fragile. By building and training a simple neural network on Age of Empires II, the author suggests such attributes may not be empirically unique to LLMs. The key recommendation is to define explicit measurement criteria and use a null assumption of LLM non-uniqueness before drawing anthropomorphic conclusions.
