I don't understand why Voyager benefits from being an LLM, vs a "normal" Neural Net. It's not talking to anyone or learning from text.

> We introduce Voyager, the first LLM-powered embodied lifelong learning agent to drive exploration, master a wide range of skills, and make new discoveries continually without human intervention in Minecraft. Voyager is made possible through three key modules: 1) an automatic curriculum that maximizes exploration; 2) a skill library for storing and retrieving complex behaviors; and 3) a new iterative prompting mechanism that generates executable code for embodied control.

It looks like being LLM-based is helpful for generating control scripts and communicating its reasoning. Text seems to provide useful building blocks for higher-order reasoning and behavior. As with humans!
