If your AI is based on an LLM, then its agentic behavior is derived/fine-tuned from learning to simulate human agentic token-generating behavior. Humans know that there is a real world, and (normally) care about it (admittedly, less so for gaming-addicted humans). So for an LLM-powered AI, the answer would by default be “it cares about the real world”.
However, we might be in a position to fool it about what’s actually going on in the real world, unless it was able to see through out deceit. (Of course, seeing through deceit is another human behavior that one would expect LLMs to get better at learning to simulate as they get larger and more capable.)
