While I agree with your comment, this sentence:

"This was given to the AI by having it watch a video that explains it."

This was not as trivial as it may seem just a few months ago...

EDIT: Incorrect, see below

it didn't watch 'a video', it watched many, many hours of video of playing minecraft (with another specialised model feeding in predictions of keyboard and mouse inputs from the video). It's still a neat trick, but it's far from the implied one-shot learning.

The author replied in this thread and says the opposite.

Alpha Star was also trained initially from youtube videos of pros playing Starcraft. I would argue that it was pretty trivial a few years ago.

[rcxdude]

I don't think it was videos. Almost certainly it was replay files with a bunch of work to transform them into something that could be compared to the model's outputs. (Alphastar never 'sees' the game's interface, only a transformed version of information available via an API)

Do you know if it was actual videos or some simpler inputs like game state and user inputs? I’d be impressed if it was the former at that time.
