As an experiment it's flawed the AIs had directives already and just followed them.

To be fair, “~~build a society~~ make an efficient village” is pretty vague and there are tons of directives that ai is incapable of succeeding.

It is interesting to see how how far they got and how it interprets “efficient village” cause one could argue that the existence of criminals is part of society and an individual ai could reason that in order to create their interpretation of society they must become a dictator first.
