Observing the landscape enables us to spot useful resources and terrain features, or spot dangers and predators. We are afraid of dark enclosed spaces because they could hide dangers. Our ancestors with appropriate responses were more likely to survive.
A huge limitation of LLMs is that they have no ability to dynamically engage with the world. We’re not just passive observers, we’re participants in our environment and we learn from testing that environment through action. I know there are experiments with AIs doing this, and in a sense game playing AIs are learning about model worlds through action in them.
