## What Jamie wrote

How GPT-4 plays Minecraft is interesting, and I wonder if this is one of the few examples where GPT-4 itself is coding the solution and making it better.

> The most novel part of the project is the code that GPT-4 generates to add behaviors to Voyager. If the code initially suggested doesn’t run perfectly, Voyager will try to refine it using error messages, feedback from the game, and a description of the code generated by GPT-4. 

This generative approach beat out other automated agents.

> Over time, Voyager builds a library of code in order to learn to make increasingly complex things and explore more of the game. A chart created by the researchers shows how capable it is compared to other Minecraft agents. 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.
