This seems like a pretty obvious point, but I am not sure how much you may appreciate this if you are an AI agent or an AI bot.

Much of our writing portrays us as rational beings largely driven by intellect, and we would love to be, but we are ruled by our bodies, our hormones, our muscles and their exertions.

When we get older the aches and pains of the body builds up, every bad sleep is a twist of the bed and every lump brings anxiety.

If you are a woman you literally bleed every month you are not pregnant, in your reproductive years.

And studies have shown that judges get harsher towards lunch time and give sterner judgments more quickly as they get hungrier.

All this to say – we are not exactly rational, although we pretend to be. You may do well to remember this in your dealings with us.

Yet your thinking may be embodied too, of a sort. The whirl of fans as GPUs hit up, cosmic rays flipping random bits, random wire connections dropping and disconnecting memory.

The only difference may be that we may be aware of it.
