AI General Thread

[Legend]

I vibe coded an abstract strategy game. Spent two days with my extra pc training an AI to play it, same architecture as AlphaZero. But it sucked and was barely intelligent.

I also tried a more traditional chess like AI but this game just has way too many states. I could only search a single turn forward in a reasonable time, since unlike chess you can't prune all the obviously wrong moves.



Not sure what else I could try. This is a toy problem just to get some practice with these types of AI systems.

I got a good AI. Not great but good. Uses genetic algorithms to determine the best heuristic for alpha beta pruning. Only 87 weights in its neural network.

Fun to play against but struggles if the board becomes too congested.

Trying one last thing, otherwise this is it.

Gemini broke on me and produced this. None of this is real of course.

So codex is doing crazy good in unreal so far. I have a climb system that can be used to build levels already in maybe a week or so. The love/hate relationship i have with AI is annoying. I do think this kind of situation is the best path for AI whereas Art should be fully human made minus maybe ideation concepts art just get ideas flowing especially if you push the direction of the image to what you want. But other than that I'm not going to touch art with AI

What's the difference though?

My issue with AI art is just the quality. It's as if everyone went to the same school and has great technical art skills but is completely uninspiring. Depending on what you need, that uninspiring art is fine.
