AI is fascinating because it's smart enough to pick up on things like RNG manipulation, but dumb enough to get lost in a straight hallway. Really makes you think about what it means to think.

I wonder what would happen if you were to add a "speed" multiplyier to the reward function, where the sooner the AI gets a reward, the more points it's worth. Would it learn to speedrun the game?

Man, you are crazy! That's insane!

Man I really loved this.

AAAAAAAAA

This is pretty much a journal of how most of us played the game as kids

Ai being traumatized by depositing a pokemon lol. I basically learned English by playing these games when I was 8. I was still learning so when the daycare people took away my pokemon I did not understand the concept and thought they stole it somehow, and you couldn't get it back right away. I hated those people and never visited them again until years later.

Could do without the misplaced social commentary on what would otherwise be an interesting video.

So, what is this AI? I mean, it's a site, an app? Something physical? Sorry if i look dumb, it's because i am dumb.

please make the ai finish the game. Mt moon should not be the end 😢

Jesus loves you

Surely you play up to the Elite Four and let it go free after that.

I think the reason AI develops a pattern walking around the corners is because you gave the incentives to explore, giving the AI incentives to explore for more different pixels, which can be found in the edges of the map.

It feels wrong to call it an artificial intelligence when it's so incredibly stupid and needs 5 years of pressing random buttons to get anywhere. Great video though.

does that ai have capability to read and learn from the game text ? if not try that

I need to see this completed please I beg you

It stopped to look at the scenery, exactly like humans do It was petty and refused to press A for its defeat message simply just to not be told it lost It rage quitted avoiding brock because it lost too many times Your AI is just a literal human todler This AI is genuinely adorable

14:46 The music sounds so especially majestic here. What is it? Is it original from the game?

i hope they approved your master's degree dissertation

"rather well-endowed server"

Any chance the ai will ever beat the game?

This is how DJ Khaled would play Pokémon

omg so good

This is amazing, cool experiment and very well made video!

0:00 too many Ashes

Impressive!

There are better ways to do this than Reinforcement learning. Ideally with a game as complex as pokemon, we would program the rule set into the model.

I like how the towns look filled with ai, I like to think that all the AI are in the same world and the people are just freaking out as to why there are 1000 of the same kid walking into the walls of there house

I still come back to watch this every now and again dude. I love it so much.

I'm absolutely dying for an update, I keep checking this channel every few months to see if there is another video

though ai looks like its doing what humans would do, it doesn't mean it's happening for the same reasons. AI writers should not cross over into philosophy without training, especially if you don't understand the difference between how you and your own program function.

Man uploads one video

bow before roko's basilisk

This might be the most interesting, fascinating and satisfying video I've watched on KZfaq so far. Hats off, I'm looking forward to future videos!

"learning to play" and "learning a series of button combinations that will enable you to reach the end via throwing shit at a wall 10,000,000 times till you find which way to throw it and cover the entire wall", are not the same thing. this isnt AI, its brute force at the lowest shit tier level.

I really hope there was a universe where it did the mew glitch

wow amazing way of programming

when you got to mt moon and gave up i looked at the video run-time, saw that it was only half way, and thought "oh okay so clearly he's gonna decide to do more at some point" and then no. you didn't. instead you did nothing. i was at 27 mins in when it hit me you were serious. like... if you had to guess, do you think maybe people clicked this video to see an ai play pokemon or to watch you give up and pivot to a tutorial on how you made the video. come the fuck on.

Love the video, man! I can't wait to see what you do next!

You need to involve twitch in an active learning version of this

When comes next Video ?

when i heard "reward" i thought of giving the computer a cookie when i did something right. like training a dog 😂

How much can you tweak and micromanage the incentives before it's no longer "artificial"?

In future runs,make it so the Ai will have a fat reward for making a super effective move or boosting its Pokémon’s stats or lowering opponents stats

Visualization and editing is top notch!

I come back to this video every month or so because of how well it is done, I would love to see more about this, even in other games like Gen 2 or 3! What differences would need to be made to make those work? Would any AI ever be able to find the Regis? How long would it take for them to get past the sudowoodo tree? I would love more of this, amazing work!!

it would have been hilarious if you used something from the red army choir for that opening gag. XD

Was hoping it would beat elite four eventually - good video

It looks like rollecoaster tycoon when you open the park. Can you emulate the game boy connection to have the AIs battle themselves?
