AIGameDev Column: Does This Mistake Make Your AI Look Smart?

Yet another new installment in the Discussion series at AIGameDev.com.

The title of this column, "Does This Mistake Make Your AI Look Smarter?", is a tongue in cheek way of pointing out that there are questions about our AI that are really difficult for us to answer honestly. Skipping over the amusing analogy at the beginning of the column, this is what the crux of it is:

...since the inception of game AI, we have been trying to have our agents make better decisions, not worse ones. We have been trying to eliminate stupid behaviors, not encourage them. We have been striving for more realism, not less… but wait a minute... Isn't this where we might be lying to ourselves? And do we really want to hear the answer if it means we have been wrong all along?

Anyway, if your AI is avoiding mistakes, it will click over and read the full column.

If you haven't already done so, make sure you subscribe to IA on AI to keep up with the latest news and notes on game AI!
