摘要

随着对话代理在表现上越来越类似人类，我们迫切需要开发有效的方法来用高层次术语描述它们的行为，而不陷入拟人陷阱。在本文中，我们突出了角色扮演的概念。将对话代理的行为描述为角色扮演，使我们能够借鉴熟悉的民间心理学术语，而不将人类特征归因于它们实际上缺乏的语言模型。通过这种方式，我们讨论了对话代理行为的两个重要情况，即（表面上的）欺骗和（表面上的）自我意识。

As dialogue agents become increasingly human-like in their performance, it is imperative that we develop effective ways to describe their behaviour in high-level terms without falling into the trap of anthropomorphism. In this paper, we foreground the concept of role-play. Casting dialogue agent behaviour in terms of role-play allows us to draw on familiar folk psychological terms, without ascribing human characteristics to language models they in fact lack. Two important cases of dialogue agent behaviour are addressed this way, namely (apparent) deception and (apparent) self-awareness.
