Because I can read and understand a context of a video game, a map, vision, etc. So now it's reduced the problem to creating a general human AI. Good luck! FWIW, a (ML) bot can beat Mario with just the x-value - what a human understand

There's a middle ground somewhere around 'not re-downloading updates every time they fail' and 'not disguising Minecraft as a security update'. A lot of the annoyance at the updates is with how frustrating the imple
