Researchers at Nvidia have developed a Minecraft bot called Voyager that uses GPT-4 to generate objectives and code to improve the bot's skill at the game over time. Voyager builds a library of code to learn to make increasingly complex things and explore more of the game. The approach shows the potential for language models to perform helpful actions on computers, potentially automating many routine office tasks. The process used by Voyager might be adapted for a software assistant that works out how to automate tasks via the operating system on a PC or phone.
