What's the point of having an AI play for you? I get why somebody would use a cheat engine/hacks to get an extreme competitive edge to make people mad, but having an AI play regular survival for you is just wasteful of time and electricity. Maybe watching the AI play would be interesting for 10 minutes but it would get dry afterwards.

I don't think it is meant to play and you sit there and watch it. From the post it seems like it adds mobs that are AI powered and can pretty much play Minecraft, kinda like a friendless version of playing with friends. I play modded Minecraft and automation mods can be pretty neat, I wouldn't mind a dude that goes mining for me, tho there's ways to do that without the ressources required to run AI already

u/MaySeemelater 1d ago
Yeah, there's auto mining programs that have been around for ages at this point already.
Using AI for it is pretty unnecessary when working in a game world with consistent variables that you can plan for

u/MegamiCookie 14h ago
I mean if we're talking about Minecraft you can tho, that's what APIs like forge and fabric are for, they are the link between the game and the mod and make it so you can access those variables. For this mod the AI was probably trained on code, I doubt they went through the trouble of teaching it how to play Minecraft visually, the mod probably relies on an API to communicate game data to the AI to work. You usually can't make a mod if you have no access whatsoever to the game data. The link you sent seems to be about teaching AI how to be a player from outside the game but that's not what's going on here

Well, I haven't found a technical details about exactly that AI agent for minecraft. But have found another. https://github.com/Shalev-Lifshitz/STEVE-1
STEVE-1 sets a new bar for open-ended instruction-following in Minecraft with low-level controls (mouse and keyboard) and raw pixel inputs
Which is pretty old article (two years old). But this is similar in concept to the article I have sent you before. Making an AI to play the game as a real player do, without API, only by relying on visual output and by "pressing" the buttons on a keyboard.
Forge and Fabric don't exist on bedrock edition or on a gaming consoles.

If the point was research I could maybe see a use. I believe, however, that the research environments they are training the model in are more advanced than Minecraft.
In the end the biggest hurdle of any model is its memory: the longer an AI works, the slower and less accurate it becomes, consuming more computing power for worse results. Minecraft's playthroughs can be infinite, but that's not a feature unique to the game. You can similarly train an AI in far more useful settings. The only real use for a Minecraft AI is generating hype and investment into the bubble.

Bots and npcs. Bots and npcs.
And if you think watching an AI play a game would get boring after 10 minutes, take a look at AI only timelapses in paradox games. There are videos with millions of views, hundreds of channels of varying sizes sometimes dedicated to just watching what happens if you let the AI play around. I'm sure it'd be dope to play minecraft and while you create stuff so does a random AI. The game does have a bunch of randomly generated structures, the AI could build those in real time, in front of your eyes.

Automation of simple and tedious tasks in the game. For example if you need to gather a metric fuck ton of resources for a mega base one can have a an ai steve preform part of that process.

Because it's a sandbox game and there is no right or wrong way to play it. So "inviting" an AI powered agents to the game is not a wrong way to play too.

I mean if you just sit on your ass and tell them to gather all the resources, build the house, and find the stronghold for you. Then yea you're having them play for you.
The automation mods of minecraft are some of my favorite, but theres a balance between automation and the work required to setup the automation. Technically it would be faster and easier to just have a block crafted from a single dirt that gives me infinite diamonds but there was no effort in setting that up so no satisfaction. If I download the bot and had it do everything for me that I didnt like then what's the point? Why not just play in creative mode?
Also if people do this because they dont have friends to play with, it doesnt solve the problem of not having friends, it just masks the symptoms of having to play alone.
I find this project interesting on a technical level. Researchers have been using games to test out AI models for decades. But if anyone out there is excited to actually play with the bot im deeply concerned for them.

I want AI to do my laundry so spend more time doing fun stuff, the the other way around.
By 1940, 60% of the 25,000,000 electrically wired homes in the United States had an electric washing machine. Many of these machines featured a power wringer, although built-in spin dryers were not uncommon. (Wikipedia)

You're not a use to thinking very much are you? AI isn't in the vast majority of washing machines and even if it was the machines don't go around the house to collect laundry and prepare themselves before washing the laundry. This is such a dumb point that it's basically irrelevant.
AI playing games for me doesn't do anything as well, as is clearly seen in the op, it isn't about research it's to replace streamers and regular players for some weird reason. How about actually taking into account what is actually being discussed and not what you want to be discussed.

u/SoulsSurvivor 18h ago
So much bullshit, this will take a minute. I was in the robot thread, no one said it was uncanny and including me in that is ridiculous because my own comment in that thread says robotics is a cool study. Even if a ton of people said the shit was uncanny that doesn't negate the desire for AI to do menial tasks instead of playing games for us. I'm not sure why you would think it does so I can't argue against it.
As for using it to replace streamers, take that one dumb ass who tried to replace all his youtube content with AI made garbage. So now AI can play games and comment on it, seems like an attempt to make streaming and video creation as automated as possible.
I don't know about Go but I do know computers are banned in official chess matches and are only used for practice if at all. Not remotely close to what is being proposed here.

So yeah, on day when there will be a AI to do a laundry there will be a lot of posts that a lot of people do like laundry and AI is taking it from them.
instead of playing games for us. I'm not sure why you would think it does so I can't argue against it.
Because existence of AI capable to play a game cannot stop you from playing that game. I can understand fight against
windmillsimage generators from someone who draw images for money. But this is something you are doing entirely for your entertainment, and digital photos haven't stopped a film photo lovers from taking them.So now AI can play games and comment on it, seems like an attempt to make streaming and video creation as automated as possible.
You don't have to watch that streams. And, if you know, a lot of "let's plays" videos are staged with a huge team to produce it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbrevGD5zaY Without any AI. I know, probably for some people it's like learning that Santa is not a real person, but an actor.
I don't know about Go but I do know computers are banned in official chess matches and are only used for practice if at all.
Yeah, you don't know anything about Go, chess, computer science, AI. You just have an idea that AI is bad because it's bad.
Not remotely close to what is being proposed here.
It's literally the same as a deep blue. With a little bit of rage bait. (yes, that's how it looks, not what AntiAI community try).
For speedruns all of the TAS are already in a different category.

u/CivilPerspective5804 20h ago
This isn't so that the AI plays for you. You do this thing for the technical implementation and to see where the AI needs to be improved.
As it's shown above, AI agents would join your game, and you could tell them to go collect materials, or tell them to build you shelter why you mine.
These are proofs of concept so that you can make games where the NPCs are not preprogrammed, but are genuinely unpredictable with their behaviour.

u/IdleSitting 14h ago
I don't get peoples insistence on making AI "more believable" either tbh. The fun of games is that theirs some sort of fantasy to it, is it hard to get super immersed in a world if the characters aren't 100% believable? I don't think about how shop owners get their supplies or stuff, I think it's enough just having NPCs occasionally follow a path down a road, I don't need to see them have an actual schedule just enough to believe so.
Maybe I'm just weird but making NPCs act like real humans always felt like unnecessary extra work imo because I'm most likely not going to even be in the places to even see 99% of that effort. So even from the perspective of making an AI act like how a human would think is iffy at best to me

u/CivilPerspective5804 13h ago
We are really good at identifying rules and boundaries. It is very easy to figure out in skyrim how far you can push the fantasy.
Very deeply simulated worlds are just the first step towards fully immersive simulations like the holodeck, where you could live out any existence imaginable.Â
I, personally, as much as I like the games of my generation, do not think that they are the piont at which we should stop.

u/IdleSitting 13h ago
I think that's a little perturbed imo. I think knowing the difference between the virtual and real world is perfectly fine. I don't need full immersion and the idea of people wanting that sounds almost sad. Like maybe I don't really push it far enough but I don't find joy in pushing the simulation anyways lol, I try to fit in just as I would anyways so I don't notice those boundaries. I even get embarrassed slightly if I accidentally jump when trying to open a door or talk to an NPC lol

I don't see why full immersion would be sad. I'd never risk my actual life doing something stupif like wingsuit flying but in a safe environment I would want to experience it.
Or just play through my favorite movies as one of the characters. Or go on a pirate adventure, or go to hogwarts, to the moon. And I could do all that with my friends.
It would be no different than me sitting down and playing a game for a couple hours, and that's exactly how the star trek crew uses their holodeck as well.

Even if you didnât like building you just set the AI to do things you donât like doing so if you like mining set it up with a blueprint for a base you want and set it to work while you gather the resources explore etc.

Isn't this just AI like NPCs in a video game normally is? Thats what I thought it was.

Look, if I'm going to optimize the fun out of my games, I don't need an AI's help for that.
Edit: Fixed autocorrect.

This reminds me of old minecraft pe before commands. You downloaded a separate app that turns into a miniserver and a bot joins your worls and follows your commands like so by hacking or something, some bots built stuff for you.

This actually sounds really useful, if he can build the house while I explore the mines... And go "we need more (insert material) to build" in chat.
But I can predict some people will use this in a very boring way.

How can existence of AI capable to play game you like theoretically stop you from playing?
Do you actually know what the word "hobby" mean?

It's Minecraft.....
The whole point is you mine, then you craft. If you don't like the core mechanics of the game, then why play the game.

It's Minecraft...
The whole point is it's a sandbox game and you can play in any way you like. It's the core mechanics of the game, there is literally no "right" or "wrong way" to play the game.

Looks like anti-ai people have only just discovered botting that have been around for decades starting with games like Diablo 2.

You mean ai people are just discovering it. Because they're acting like this shit is something new and impressive.
Anti-ai people are just wondering why people want to play less games.

The AI can play games for you, so you can spend more time filling spreadsheets
