It’s very interesting!

Does everyone get the same thought? It feels like it’s stuck in a bit of a loop around a Dutch chant around Jews because it can’t get an image to evoke the feeling… probably because it can seem racist. It seems to have got there by reading the news and seeing an article about the history of the chant.

I suppose this AI also goes for attention grabbing headlines!

Glad you like it! One of the things I tried to emulate is the notion of obsessions, which I believe is an important component of the creative process. It seems like Livia got obsessed with Dutch Proverbs and slowly drifted to "Dutch protest culture".

I have no control over what happens during the live streaming and I'm sure this autonomous agent could become a source of embarrassment, though I hope the few precautions I've built might be enough. :-)

So part of me feels like the missing component to this nice "obsession" trait you added is the assessment of whether it is finding new information or just reading stale data. I think given known information, humans will either quickly dismiss it (sometimes just a few words into it) or try to appreciate it through a new perspective. The latter seems harder to achieve, but the former seems feasible today—when finding repeated information several iterations in a row, shake everything up and get creative again.

A corollary to that is "obsession" is perhaps balanced by some measure of "boredom"

Well spotted. The agent does in fact assess whether or not the information it's processing is already in its vector DB. I'm still unclear if what you noticed is due to the LLM failing (Mixtral is good, but not great), or something else, but it needs fixing. Thanks for letting me know.

You need to make yourself a business analyst agent to provide the feedback! To make it real, perhaps a team of them with conflicting personalities.

I think we'll get there at some point, but one thing I've learned from this project is how difficult it is to stack AI interactions. Each little bit of AI-based logic that gets added tends to fail terribly at first. Only after a long period of intense testing and iteration does it become remotely usable. The more you are combining different kinds of tasks, the more difficult it gets.
