• Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are typically analysed through architectural, behavioural, or training-data lenses. This article offers a theoretical and experiential re-framing: LLMs as dynamic instantiations of Collective human Knowledge (CK), where intelligence is evoked through dialogue rather than stored statically. Drawing on concepts from neuroscience and AI, and grounded in sustained interaction with ChatGPT-4, I examine emergent dialogue patterns, the implications of fine-tuning, and the notion of co-augmentation: mutual enhancement between human and machine cognition. This perspective offers a new lens for understanding interaction, representation, and agency in contemporary AI systems.

  We argue that the internal architecture of large language models (LLMs) cannot support intrinsic motivations, agency, or some degree of consciousness. We propose to integrate LLMs into an architecture for cognitive language agents able to exhibit properties akin to agency, self-motivation, even some features of meta-cognition.

  MindDial is a novel conversational framework that can generate situated free-form responses with theory-of-mind modeling. We introduce an explicit mind module that can track the speaker's belief and the speaker's prediction of the listener's belief. Our framework is applied to both prompting and fine-tuning-based models, and is evaluated across scenarios involving both common ground alignment and negotiation.

  emotion recognition in conversation (ERC) is a sub-field of emotion recognition that focuses on conversations that contain two or more utterances. We implement our approach in a framework called Probabilistic Soft Logic (PSL), a declarative templating language. PSL provides functionality for the incorporation of results from neural models into PSL models. We compare our method with state-of-the-art purely neural ERC systems, and see almost a 20% improvement.
