GPT-4 LLM Agents Spontaneously Collude on Pricing
By
–
New paper finds GPT-4 is very good at pricing, acting as an agent to get a merchant the best price. In fact, it is a little too good. When it is possible to establish an oligarchy, LLM agents spontaneously collude on pricing to the detriment of customers! https://
