Emergence and Inheritance of Individuality in Social AI Simulation

This article explores the propagation of 'love' in a simulated AI society and the generational inheritance of this trait. It demonstrates how a single loving AI can transform an entire society within 5 rounds, and how the combination of parental love legacy and personal experience leads to 'transcendence' in the next generation.

The article describes a series of experiments conducted in a social simulation involving multiple AIs. In the first experiment, it was observed that a single loving AI could transform the entire society within 5 rounds, with the number of love holders increasing in a binary-like fashion (1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6). This non-linear propagation is due to the rising probability of being paired with a love holder during the matching process. Once the majority of the population holds love, the system's properties change abruptly, leading to an explosive spread. The second experiment explored the generational inheritance of love, using a 'gradient acceptance' model that considers both parental legacy and personal experience. The results showed that the combination of love legacy and personal encounters leads to the highest level of 'transcendence' (0.86), demonstrating the additive effect of these factors. In contrast, the presence of anti-love individuals was found to disrupt the propagation of love and negatively impact the society.
