    I feel like they’re going to try their best to do it in a profoundly stupid way, but I think games can be one of the places where AI really works.

    AI as a means for building out conversations with NPCs and strengthening other world building makes a lot of sense, but like here… They’re talking about using it to guide players away from one of the key things that make Minecraft a compelling game. Asking AI ‘How do I make a sword’ is not as compelling as figuring it out yourself with the context you have available… The beauty of Minecraft is that you can figure out the basics on your own and can extrapolate to… maybe not everything, but most things from figuring out those basic concepts.
