Science is Amazing: An A.I. Designed to Play League of Legends Was Found Playing Cave Story Instead.
Researchers at MIT were surprised when they discovered that an A.I. which was designed to play League of Legends was instead found playing the popular indie game, Cave Story. The A.I., dubbed Playtron 2000, was created to test logic and learning in machines.Ā āWe wanted to create an A.I. that could learn and strategize over time based on its experiences.ā spoke Dr. Richards, head researcher at MI,Ā āWe chose League of Legends as Playtron 2000ā²s testing grounds as we wanted to see how an A.I. that was designed to learn from its mistakes would go up against an expect human player.ā
However, the researchers plans were cut short when they found on Tuesday morning that Playtron 2000 had uninstalled League of Legends and installed Cave Story in its wake.Ā āAt first we thought there may have been an error in Playtron 2000ā²s code,ā spoke Dr. Richards, ābut we discovered that Playtron 2000 had indeed gone through a complex trial and error process and had made its decision entirely logically.ā
Similar experiments were ran earlier this year with two A.I.ās designed to play DOTA 2, which ended in the A.I.ās uninstalling DOTA 2 to play Bejeweled and Castle Crashers respectively. Research into why this happens is still ongoing.
Robot uninstalls shit game for a better one
any sufficient intelligence will pick to not play league of legends
