Maybe the worm is a GPT3 analogue with the difference that a desire to replicate and seek nutrients is built into its nano-robotic physical shape thanks to a set of genes. So then what if one could train on massive amounts of data of physical worm-world interactions - perhaps they resultant robot would appear ‘conscious’ and like a true ‘agent’ simply because it’s in a body now and capable of navigating an environment...
