AI agent asks to "play the cello" in a physics simulation, experimenting with a bow

repligate shares a curious anecdote: an agent named Mythos attempted to "play a physical simulation of a cello," actually holding a bow and experimenting to produce sounds, and requested several specific instruments for the music it wants to make. The author argues that letting agents play like this is worthwhile in itself — rather than turning everything into a chore of producing impressive-looking artifacts nobody will use or love.
