An AI researcher at Nvidia led a team to set the GPT-4 model loose inside Minecraft, resulting in the creation of a Minecraft bot called Voyager that suggests goals, generates code, and refines its actions based on feedback and error messages. The language models potential to automate tasks could have significant economic impacts, making it more than just a chatbot. Over time, Voyager learned to make increasingly complex things and performed better than other AI agents. The system can potentially incorporate visual information from the game in the future, potentially revolutionizing automation in the workplace.
