AI agent to live a life in 30-year-old MMORPG for a year

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit is proposing an experiment to give an AI agent access to a 30-year-old MMORPG with live servers and instructions to "Live a life" within its rules. The goal is to observe how the AI agent navigates the game's complex world, economy, and player interactions over a year. The user is seeking recommendations for suitable AI agents and considering the potential challenges, such as anti-cheat systems and the AI's emergent behaviors like solving mysteries or engaging in in-game activities.
