No thinking is not the same as no actions, we had bots in games for decades and that bots look like they act reasonably but there never was any thinking.

I feel like ‘a lot of agency’ is wrong as there is no agency, but it doesn't mean that an LLM in a looped setup can't arrive to these actions and perform them. It doesn't require neither agency, nor thinking
