What's the utility function? I can imagine that resulting in several problems.
For example, U = 1/T, where T is the time (measured in virtual computing environment cycles) until the correct output is produced.
This sounds more like a tool AI! I thought that agent AIs generally had more persistent utility measures - this looks like the sort of thing where the AI has NO utility maximizing behavior until a problem is presented, then temporarily instantiates a problem-specific utility function (like the above).
Well, yes, it is a tool AI. But it does have an utility function, it can be built upon a decision theory, etc, and in this sense, it is Agent.
