How is that programmer humor of all things and how does that need ai?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Using Ai in the old sense and not LLM.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Yea, they used AI for better reasons before

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Well it's comedy (even if you don't agree, thats what he's going for).

And ai is commonly used as a catchall term for any program doing some kind of automation.

I really dislike his strange need to pollute the leaderboards with his bot records. The blacklist is there because people like him...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is it really "pollution" though if their anti-bot system worked exactly as intended and restored the leaderboard to its previous state within mere seconds?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

It didn't work, but as I said, he really wanted to pollute it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Jesus christ the amount of people here who don't realise that AI is a term since the begining of video gaming used to describe the processes behind NPC behaviour is disgusting..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hey. That was entertaining.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It actually was! Some crazy energy that guy has.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Oh he is crazy alright. Just look at his videos making guitar hero... USING GUITAR!

This is not AI, just simple logic. This is how it should be done, and not with "AI". I hope young coders don't confuse logic with machine learning.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

AI in the computation sense can refer to any system that appears intelligent. This includes simple logic. It seems to be you that is confusing AI with Machine Learning.

This is a garbage, subjective, pseudo-scientific definition.

And even if I entertain this nonsense, what kind of fool thinks that a minesweeper solver is "intelligent"?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sorry random internet person let me forward your opinion to my old Computer Science professor and have them update it.

AI as a field goes back to the 50s, long before any concept of machine learning, or what 'intelligence' was possible for a computer to achieve.

[+] [email protected] -10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Please do and report back. There's a significant difference between following manually coded instructions and 'intelligence'.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Nope, thermostat (yes, that thing that has one "if temperature < XX, turn on heater) is literally considered an intelligent agent, as defined by the actual field of Artificial Intelligence, it's one of the first examples taught on the most basic of courses.

You should really go do your homework about absolute basics of AI field before insulting random people that at least have a semblance of knowledge about the field, other than "AI hype, AI cool".

People like you are insulting the whole field of Artificial Inteligence, so please stop spreading bullshit about it before you get good (or at the very least, don't be a dick about it, when people try to educate you). You probably had no idea the field even exists two years ago.

MFW was using it ten years ago.

[–] tiddy 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I gotta ask, would you consider humans intelligent?

I mean the entire scientific method depends on the deterministic nature of the universe, arguably making everything ever to follow manually coded instructions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Does our brain follow manually coded instructions?

[–] tiddy 0 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh boy, you have a lot to learn about what Artificial Intelligence actually means for people who have been in academia or gamedev for the past 20 years.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

"AI" has been a very common and very old term used in video games to refer to NPCs that react to player behaviour. It's also sometimes used to refer to bots that emulate player logic to play a game, such as in this CB video.

If you missed that much and yet still know about machine learning: welcome back to society!
