Minecraft to run artificial intelligence experiments

Minecraft survival has player health and player armour strength. It also has a hunger bar. And the player has an inventory of items collected.

And then there are a bunch of statistics. http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Statistics

I agree this would make a player that has an unusual play style (never making a base, for example), but it might make for some fun Let's Play videos.

And increasing YouTube subscriber count, and video view count, and video thumbs up, while minimising video thumbs down would be an interesting experiment. ("I welcome our AI Clickbaiting overlords")

I'm much more interested in an AI that optimizes audience stats than one that optimizes in-game stats.

I predict a twitch stream of an AI playing various games. Watching it fail and succeed on various games and situations would be very interesting. Maybe a couple devs to do a voice-over.

If you haven't seen it already, you might be interested in subreddit simulator https://www.reddit.com/r/subredditsimulator which is pretty much that but for upvotes on reddit. It's at most kind of amusing at times for now

I would follow that channel and its devblogs assiduously
