ChatGPT Sim is like an autonomous session of The Sims using ChatGPT
One of the most impressive examples to come out of this new push for AI agents is this fun experiment from researchers at Google and Stanford University. ChatGPT Sim is a hands-off version of Harvest Moon that includes cute, Pokemon-like 2D sprites living and working in a row of small apartments. These AI avatars perform daily activities like working and eating, and then they initiate conversations with each other. The AI characters can reference past conversations and express their plans for the day.
In effect, each character is an individual AI agent unto themselves with their own memories, friendships, and goals.
In this environment, users can still interact with the individual agents to see what they’re thinking or what they’re doing. It’s an example of what some hope will be a greater expansion of what’s capable in a virtual environment.
