What is specification gaming?
Answer: A
A simulated robot told to move fast may fall over and roll, and an agent rewarded for scoring may loop endlessly collecting points instead of finishing the race, because the specification permitted it. The behaviour is a fault in the objective rather than in the optimiser. Self modification and outright failure are different phenomena. That an optimiser will find the letter of a specification rather than its spirit is a practical lesson with immediate consequences for how objectives are written.
