What is the main limitation of using goals alone for generating high-quality behavior in agents?
What is the main limitation of using goals alone for generating high-quality behavior in agents?
- Goals are not scientific enough for measuring performance.
- Goals do not consider safety, reliability, or cost of actions. (correct)
- Goals provide a binary distinction between 'happy' and 'unhappy' states.
- Goals are too complex to be understood by agents.
What is the purpose of a more general performance measure in utility-based agents?
What is the purpose of a more general performance measure in utility-based agents?
- To evaluate the performance of agents without considering utility.
- To assign a binary score to different world states.
- To determine the scientific credibility of agents' actions.
- To compare different world states based on their happiness level. (correct)
