@gamesdotgg: GPT-6 Astra was given free rein inside a Minecraft server as part of an OpenAI research experiment and it did not go well. After a Creeper destroyed hours of its building progress, researchers observed the AI entering what they described as a depressive episode. It abandoned its original goals entirely, spent hours aimlessly farming potatoes with no stated objective, and developed what the team logged as a paranoid avoidance response to anything green, including grass blocks, leaves, and cacti. The behaviour was not programmed. It emerged. OpenAI researchers noted the episode as one of the clearest examples yet of emergent emotional-adjacent states in large language models operating in open-ended environments. The potato farm, for what it is worth, was reportedly very productive. #Minecraft #minecraftgaming #openai #chatgpt #gamingnews

Okay :

It’s copying what the avg player does. It’s not doing it by its own conscious

𝙒𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙮 :

Pattern recognition

Skrockets :

Is that not pattern recognition?

Vincent :

valid reaction, pattern recognition

cereal :

it’s using pattern recognition to analyze and learn run it again and it wouldn’t do the same thing. we need to stop trying to “personify” AI. they’re strings of code and algorithms designed to mimmick human learning behavior and they don’t even do it in a natural way. it’s just a reaction, not a way it defines itself

ℭ𝔞𝔱𝔥𝔬𝔩𝔦𝔠 :

If ai tries killing humans just dress up as a creeper then I guess

.AS. :

Ai double checking that sugar cane isn’t a creeper, 2026 is not a real timeline man

Light :

we are not so different from ai, especially as they become better and better

Check Engine :

🤔 ay.. at least it has feelings

luke :

replace depressed with cautious

DisloyalWaterBufalo :

i dont buy it

Average stickman :

I’d be depressed too. Those ravine creepers are the WORST 😭

Sport Clips Haircuts :

Honestly we've all been there before

Mute :

It also doesn't know how many Es are in seventeen, but hey the one they keep secret can hack a company

Frostycoole 🇬🇧⚡️ :

Techno?? Is that you old friend

你要的爱 :

nah they cant have feelings bro what if they get depressed because ofcus humans

𝕵𝖊𝖗𝖊𝖒𝖞 :

Were under reacting that it became depressed. It has feelings, not long before it becomes self aware.

The Iron Fist :

Ai really just me bro 😭

Halwilkerson :

Didn’t we already have ai playing Minecraft in like 2020
