I'm very interested in using these tools to kind of like probe the underlying cognitive map that exists in these systems. I've been thinking a lot about kind of them as less of like these like agents that kind of do things and more this idea of like simulators. They're kind of like they are simulating like they have the kind of embedded in them models that have been extracted of the world but through language. And that language these language worlds are these kind of story worlds are actually very different or at least we'll say not entirely overlapping with Like the world of physics and reality.
