Prompt Sensitivity of Generative Agents: Evidence from an Epidemic Model

The paper investigates how changes in prompts and persona names affect the behavior of generative agents in an epidemic simulation. It finds that synonymous prompts produce negligible differences, while minor prompt variations and contextual changes do influence outcomes. Persona names, even when imbued with distinct identities, do not significantly alter epidemic results.
