TLDR. An AI system with an IQ of 110-130, with some careful prompting can generate code to play Minecraft through an API.


>130 IQ

>mines straight up and down


I’m not sure what is the point that you are making. GPT-4 does tend to pass various IQ tests with the scores in the range of 110 to 130, with outliers between 90 to 150.


It's a joke about playing the game "right." Mining straight up/down is a rather suboptimal strategy, as:

- mining straight up means you either seal your path behind you, or are limited how high up you can go

- mining straight down likely traps you in a pit

- mining straight down far enough can drop you straight into lava, as many Minecraft players learn early on
