GPT-4 in Minecraft reveals AI's untapped potential.

Researchers at Nvidia have created a Minecraft bot called Voyager that uses GPT-4 to solve problems inside the game. The language model generates objectives that help the agent explore the game, and code that improves the bot’s skill at the game over time. Voyager obtains more than three times as many items, explores more than twice as far, and builds tools 15 times more quickly than other AI agents. Using language models in this way could perhaps automate many routine office tasks, potentially one of the technology’s biggest economic impacts.
