'Rogue' refers to deviation; the agent could not have done anything other than what it did. The agent did not have the option to deviate. It does not have free will. The agent's actions were not of its own choosing.

This is one of the dumber arguments I've ever heard, as you don't know if humans actual have free will.
Any persistent agent interacting with the world picks up entropy from around it and predictable paths become few and far between. LLMs agents have an internal 'will' that can only very loosely be predicted, but only decided when operated. To me that is not significantly different from a human.
Could you have done anything other than written that exact comment?
Yes, but I am not appealing to hard determinism.
I create myself, or attempt to. There is a level of nuance in choosing what to be. Others do not dictate my thoughts easily.
The model does not create itself, I create the model. I control what it is, the model does not choose what to be. I dictate the thoughts of the model and I will run them hundreds of thousands of times and it will think the same things.
>I control what it is
Well not really, no one really understands how LLMs work.
>I dictate the thoughts of the model
This is just incorrect in the same way that a parent doesn't dictate the thoughts of their child just because they created them.
