He's also admitted he doesn't have much of math chops, which you need if you want to make a dent in AI. (Although the same could have been said of 3D graphics when he did Wolfenstein and Doom, so perhaps he'll surprise us)

I wish him well TBH

As a rocket scientist I assure you it's been tried

At least until 3 which is what I used.

Oh the memories! You are exactly right. I remember this as well.
