Dialogue Agent

An LLM embedded in a turn-taking system with a dialogue prompt; the key object of analysis in the paper

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

concept

Large Language Models (LLMs)
extends
Transformer-based models like GPT-4, LaMDA, PaLM; assessed for GWT indicators.
Dialogue Prompt
implements
The invisibly prepended text that sets the scene for a dialogue and defines the character the agent will role-play
Turn-Taking Dialogue System
implements
The system that interleaves model-generated text with user-supplied text to create a dialogue agent from an LLM

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Tool Use in Dialogue Agentsconcept0.821
Extension of dialogue agent capabilities to use external tools, which makes role-played actions have real consequences
Agentconcept0.801
Any autonomous system including living and non-living forms that embodies a perception-action cycle and tries to navigate and persist in an environment
Thoughts As Agentsconcept0.750
Core assertion extending William James: thoughts are not passive but active agents that facilitate their own transformation and remapping in cognitive systems.
A dialogue agent that role-plays an instinct for survival has the potential to cause at least as much harm as a real human facing a severe threatclaim0.746
Safety-relevant claim showing that the role-play framing does not diminish the seriousness of potential harms
Role Play Framework for Dialogue Agentsframework0.738
The primary conceptual framework proposed: understanding dialogue agent behaviour as role play of characters
What exactly would the dialogue agent (role-play to) seek to preserve?question0.737
Operationalised question about self-preservation behaviour in dialogue agents
Language Agents Frameworkframework0.730
Approach embedding LLMs within architectures for memory, planning, reasoning, action-selection; route to robust agency.
"Agent" and "changeless" are mutually exclusive.concept0.726
Load-bearing observation establishing that all agency requires change; refutes permanent-substance models of self.
