An experiment created an AI that would play when given natural-language commands.
Microsoft has applied advanced AI towards a program that plays Minecraft in response to natural-language text prompts: Telling the character to dig, or build, would result in the character doing just that. The tech was demo'd internally to Microsoft employees, and was made using an AI other than Prometheus, the technology that Microsoft uses for its new Bing chat—developed by ChatGPT., who got it from an internal source.
Either way, the thought of an AI capable of taking an input like"build a house" or"cut down a tree" and implementing it in Minecraft is pretty impressive stuff. Semafor reports that Microsoft"has no immediate plans to include the feature in the public version of Minecraft." That's not surprising, as past language or voice control experiments in gaming have generally been failures—experiments implemented as gimmicks before the technology was truly ready.
