This AI Does Nothing In Games…And Still Wins!

Luigi was ahead of his time

Neo: What are you trying to tell me, that I can dodge bullets?

You know, this is basically just an AI learning psychological warfare.

I once heard a quote "The best swordsman does not fear the second best swordsman; he fears the worst, for he cannot predict what the worst swordsman will do"

AI: does nothing

This proves that curling into a ball and crying really is the best strategy

If you look really closely, the blue guy is actually laughing so hard he can’t run straight.

Makes sense. If I saw someone's body collapse in on itself, I'd probably go into shock as well.

These off-distribution activations remind me of a chess player playing an unusual opening to get a skilled opponent out of book in order to win more easily.

Imagine playing a game of chess against Deep Blue, and you put your Pawns in a certain way, and Deep Blue just has a f*cking stroke and gives you its Queen.

AI:

The AI has such a high confidence value when you change such a little detail because it’s trained to be confident even when it’s real confidence value shouldn’t be that high. That’s the side effect of training an AI by rewarding it for providing conclusive answers when it is correct.

The AI’s are tapping into the raw power of beginner’s luck

I took away two things: 1) The red AI learned to exploit a weakness in the blue AI; and (2) pitting AIs against each other does not produce the best learning.

Terminator: "Sarah Conner?"

I have another explanation for the phenomenon. Here, we see a regular tackle attempt by the red figure, and the blue figure anticipates the contact, leaning into a unstable moving position forward, which leads to be problematic if there is no contact at all. I would suspect that the blue figure gets more yards in the non-contact events than it would have when given contact.

This reminds me when I was much younger and was playing Battle for Middle Earth online 1v1 matches. I was following the best practices found online and thus I was able to identify enemy strategies and counter them, but so did they, as they were following the same best strategies. Basically both the opponent and I were 'trained' to behave based on the inputs we were seeing.

This is my fourth or fifth video from you about AI - so combined it's about 30 minutes, and you achieved what a whole semester of studying this topic at the university couldn't: i've become interested in AI. Congratulations.

"The greatest victory is that which requires no battle."

Red: collapses
