The speaker’s journey began in May 2023 with a groundbreaking research experiment involving GPT models to simulate human-like behavior among AI personalities. Using GPT-3.5 with a limited context window (4,000 tokens), they attempted to emulate conversations among iconic figures like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Jeff Bezos.

This initial experiment was aimed at understanding whether multiple GPT agents, given specific goals, could perform activities and simulate human behavior. The outcome was a simulated podcast conversation that touched upon AI's impact on jobs, with a mix of optimistic and cautious perspectives. This early work showcased how far AI had come in a short period—moving from simple prompt-based interactions to more dynamic, multi-agent dialogues.
