I have to disagree about that last sentence. Augmenting LLMs to have any remotely person-like attributes is far from trivial.

The current thought in the field about this centers around so-called “Objective Driven AI”:

• openreview.net/pdf?id=BZ5a1r-kVsf

• arxiv.org/abs/2308.10135

in which strategies are proposed to decouple the AI’s internal “world model” from its language capabilities, to facilitate hierarchical planning and mitigate hallucination.

The latter half of this talk by Yann LeCun addresses this topic too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd0JmT6rYcI

It’s very much an emerging and open-ended field with more questions than answers.
