Let's take a look at "SPRING: GPT-4 Out-performs RL Algorithms by Studying Papers and Reasoning". The authors use GPT-4 to learn an agent that can play Crafter, getting it's information from a specification paper. They claim it's better than reinforcement learning, but is that really the case? Should we be using LLMs instead of RL?
