LLM plays an 8-bit Commander X16 game using structured "smart senses"

Why it matters: This experiment demonstrates a novel method for LLMs to interact with virtual environments using abstracted inputs.
- ChatGPT-4o is being used to play an 8-bit game, PvP-AI, on a Commander X16 emulator.
- The LLM receives structured text summaries, termed "smart senses," rather than direct pixel or audio inputs.
- These "smart senses" are based on the game's pre-existing touch and EMF-style input mechanisms.
A new experiment connects ChatGPT-4o to an 8-bit shoot-'em-up game, PvP-AI, running on a Commander X16 emulator. Instead of raw sensory data, the LLM utilizes "smart senses"—structured text summaries derived from the game's existing touch and EMF-style inputs—to play the game.
