"Five 15-day simulations, each governed by a different AI ... Each simulation netted wildly different outcomes. The one run by Claude, for example, resulted in a largely stable democratic society with zero crime. Grok’s, on the other hand, ended with 183 crimes committed and extinction—within four days. ... The agents in the Gemini-run simulation tallied the most crimes, a whopping 683 within the 15-day run. ... The results may be the most peculiar for OpenAI’s GPT-5-mini. The simulation recorded only two crimes. But it ran for just seven days as the agents forgot to prioritize their own survival."

Are there any other advantages to using ChatPerson over chatbots?

Each of our server centers (human beings) only consumes enough water and electricity to sustain a human body in a modest studio apartment. Chatbots, on the other hand, basically suck a county dry every time you ask them to punch up your cover letter.
