Comment on Odours have a complex topography, and it’s been mapped by AI
JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 7 months agoMachine learning is a form of AI, much more sophisticated that if else loops that are also AI. What did you think AI was, lol?

AI is about making a system seem intelligent, by having it do human-like tasks. This is the type of machine learnig that is the opposite of that.

Nah, not in computer science terminology.

Unless you talk to game developers where a “follow the ball” “algorithm” for Pong classifies as AI, because it’s controlling the behaviour of a game-world agent that’s not the player. The term pretty much matches up with what game theorists (as in game theory, not computer games) call strategies.

AI in games is not AI in the CS sense, and that’s probably where the confusion is coming from. AI in games uses the cultural definition that includes things like C3PO and whatnot, whereas AI in the CS sense is just about any algorithm that seems to learn as its environment changes, usually to find a better (more fitting) solution than the previous iteration. Game AI is generally just pathing and direct responses to stimuli, it doesn’t really learn, so players can cheese the AI pretty consistently.
I think games using actual AI would be undesirable because it would make games involving AI much less predictable.
