It’s a legal convention born out of a sense of responsibility. An LLM is even “dumber” than a child (precisely because it doesn’t have agency) so its “parents” are even more responsible for its actions.

There's a funny sort of gerrymandering of "intelligence". People like to subtract the capabilities of AI from the capabilities of humans, and define what remains as "intelligence" to make us feel good about ourselves.

Suppose I set up a server which runs an LLM agent in a while loop, telling it something like: "Make me a bunch of money" on repeat. Fair to say that the server+LLM system, taken as a whole, is now an intelligent agent?

Time to come up with a new gerrymander perhaps?
