People in this thread are pointing out difficulties and I'm getting an overall dismissive tone. As an ML researcher myself, I'm often skeptical and reserved about AI hype. That being said, the difficulties anticipated here are going to be resolved, or at least they will work like hell to make it happen. Not just because it will make for great video games (although wasn't that one of OpenAI's original objectives? I can't keep track of changes to their stated mission...) But because they are interesting and HARD research questions. And they lie directly on the currently charted path to better understanding of AGI. I'm hopeful for video games but still worried about everything else that will come out of it.
