An AI being traumatized by using a pc is the most ironic thing I've heard in a while
Haven't you seen twitch plays pokemon? PCs are a death sentence!
I didn't even make that connection 😂
@@mcstrategistI remember that. People were spamming. To get rid of pokemon. They had to ban people and make rules. That was pretty hilarious though.
@@nimi-naesame. But yeah that’s pretty funny
Sudden excessive punishment against a curiosity traumatizes first time experiencer
Seems all too legit 😅
it was unreasonably adorable when the AI stopped in Pallet Town to enjoy the scenery
Seconded
The AI is cute
Based AI knows true happiness.
Ok but did you see the little dance after beating the bug catcher on the first try?
Yeessss
I envision it talking everything in with a solemn smile, knowing that it’s about to leave this quaint town on a grand adventure of trials and learning.
‘Just one more moment at the banks of this familiar lake, then I’ll be off…’
I laughed so hard when the AI refused to press the A button when it lost.
Stalling to avoid the outcome confirmation. Reminds me of young children, actually. Haha
@@MP-lv5vk Sometimes the sound of a door slamming because of a gust of wind can remind me of children slamming their hands on a table. There is ZERO connection/homology between anything in the bot produced behavior, and the realm of human motivation or other emotions. It is logically impossible to learn anything about humans from literally everything about this showcase except by observing the actual human who decided to create this mathematical formula of instructions (algorithm) to a low level brute force bot.
@@JohnnyNatrium Yeah but it reminds me of children's stubbornness lmao
Children can be the sorest losers, refusing to keep playing is hilarious 😂
The only winning move is not to play.
I dunno why but the clips were all the AIs aimlessly walk around like a colony of small ants is unbelievably adorable to me
holy shit ai are the ants. or are ants the ai?
Is this a subtle nod to @SmallAnt ?😂
“The ai is learning how to move, and is just walking around” really explains a lot of my online teammates in first person shooters.
Bots
Like my team mates in LoL
Lvl 1 lukes in star wars battlefront 2 hvv
Npcs playing npcs 😢😮
@@jeffwooten6888"bot" sounds so negative. Maybe we should start calling them "reinforcemenrt learners" instead.
The ai discovering rng manipulation is mindblowing. I wonder if games in future could use ai to learn tedious or very specific glitches during beta testing.
They already do!
Dude it clicked as he was explaining it "wasn't optimal" but also repeating and I was like "NOOOOOOO!!!"
Why bother?
@@user-kt6ne3fx6u simple, ai thinks and tries things different to a human, it could discover stuff the devs wouldn't even imagine it was possible
This is an elaborate version of fuzz testing, which is the act of feeding random data to a program to see how it react.
i love that the AI decided to just hang out and watch the scenery. reminds me of my favorite poem “Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening” by Robert Frost
Everybody likes Robert Frost
I’ve done this many times in my play throughs with Pokémon, it’s actually scary how much the AI “mimics” human behavior.
@@piciperkuadrik4636not True I actually HATE Robert Frost
You have good taste. That's a beautiful poem
@@danielserrano929because we’re in a simulation 😂
I’m so glad you didn’t stop when you said “this sounds like a reasonable stopping point”
But then he stopped not to long after 🥲
This must've taken an insane amount of time to not only simulate but also edit, really good video, nice work
Omg Dolan you fucking legend where you been
rN6media does the edits
Have you forgotten your password?
@@anouaressanoussiobviously not
@@MrGoodeatsyeah most youtubers dont edit their own content anymore
This was extremely well made. Great job
Holy cannoli it's science boi Kyle "Thor" Hill with his locks in the wild.
I see we spend our sunday nights similarly. Lmfao.
This is honestly one of the best endorsements this video could have
I’m certain the algorithm recommended me this video because of your comment
Its the goat 🐐
Your findings, implementation, logic, and ANIMATION is incredible. 👏👏
As a Pokemon enthusiast with 4 Pokemon tattoos and a data analyst aspiring to become a data scientist, this project was one of the coolest to watch! I was so fascinated that I decided to replicate the project myself. I encountered some difficulties along the way, but the Discord community was incredibly helpful. Congratulations on the project! 🙌
Honestly the AI becoming traumatized from the PC was heartbreaking. Poor lil guy didnt understand what happened
My heart dropped when it was revealed he never went back to the Pokémon center afterwards, I felt so bad for the guy.
@@istumbyright? Just imagine how rewarding it would’ve been to gain those total levels back! Probably would’ve broken the reward system, as there’s nothing keeping the AI from depositing the Pokémon just to get rewards for pulling it back out.
@@hunterwylie6969 Deposit, withdraw, deposit, withdraw like a junkie.
"The Pokémon center stole my only squirtle!"
Don't feel bad, they learn as they go!
That whole traumatic experience with the PC and the Pokecenter was fascinating. Thank you for making this
The poor AI aww 😢❤
It triggered my Twitch Plays Pokemon PTSD
the analogies between human behavior and AI behavior were quite interesting in general, though the trauma sticks out. also kinda makes you think about ourselves, doesn't it? after all, this is ultimately just a statistic algorithm with a simple reward system, but it manages to show some rather lifelike emergent behaviors, which weren't inherently programmed it. then again, pretty much all of life is not that different, the model and algorithm are just much bigger and more granular and complex.
Indeed it happened to me when i was young, i didnt know how to withow pkmn bc the storage system was a mess so i didnt use the pc anymore xd
Reminds me of the trauma triggered whenever Twitch plays pokemon went near the computer after they accidentally released all those pokemon haha!
Extremely impressive visualization of the simultaneous iterations. It can be hard to grasp that machine learning is happening in batches of mass parallel attempts, not each progressive scenario after another one by one. Excellent video!
5 mil on your first video. Great quality, good research and break down. Congrats, can't wait to see what you bring next!
The AI is cool and all, lots of comments discussing it, but. I just wanna say, the editing is so awesome for a video like these, you don't often see such excellent presentation
I'm honestly baffled by how this was animated. How did you get the scenes with the thousands of character sprites moving about, all overlapping one another?
@@Lone.Willow all is revealed at 26:27
200% this. Not only taking on the entire workload of the project, but taking the time making such an enjoyable and informative visual aid is stellar!
@@Lone.Willow Yeah that's what's wild, the AI stuff is sick, but the editing to show the iterations had me fucking floored.
I just thought the same, the presentation is amazing 👏
Not that I don’t love the videos that just say “I applied an AI to this game and here’s how long it took to finish it” but this video (in addition to its high quality visuals and great script) is so much beyond that.
Instead of just watching a video on AI, we’re learning about reward implementation, the human condition, curiosity, and more and more. This went above and beyond, I was so rooting for our AI buddy by the end of this lol.
You're right! This feels like an in depth, academic essay
I want to see the AI beating the game
Incredibly well made video! I think your resourcefulness and ability to explain things in non-technical terms shows a deep understanding of the topic.
Plus the storytelling is top notch
I’m thoroughly impressed by this video. Rarely someone executes an idea to this level of clarity. Visually it is very easy to understand what’s going on as well. Plus you’re sharing the project with everyone. Keep up the hard work
"Just hanging out and admiring the scenery, is more rewarding than exploring the rest of the world." Never have I felt more like a machine learning algorithm than this sentence right here.
The digital world is more rewarding than the real world
Very relatable outcome!
Me too, why bother capturing and fighting when you can just chill and enjoy the motion of leaves and waves? Quite poetic
If you ever do have the AI finsih the game, I think it would be really cool if you let the same AI try Pokemon Gold. I think seeing if an AI trained on Gen 1 could play Gen 2 that would be an interesting experiment
Obviously it'd have to relearn how to navigate the map, but it'd probably do well in battles since it already knows how
It wouldn't be able to catch the farfetchd or use cut
This game would fail too with the hm's
I'm going to do this as a project for my machine learning class, and I am planning on trying the same algo on Gen 2.
do make a video@@geekygecko1849
@@geekygecko1849how can I follow along?
I can't wait for this project to hopefully continue in the future. This was so well done
everything about this video is extremely well done, even the editing , i think big bro is an actual genius
This was edited and put together so amazingly well. I haven’t even finished yet- I just needed to express my gratitude that you took the time to not only complete this project but edit the process in such a visibly appealing way. Thanks for 33 genuinely enjoyable minutes!
shit was boring asf, felt like a lecture lol
A Happy Way to Live
The servants who are ready and waiting for his return will be rewarded.
-Luke 12:37
All around us we can see fulfilled Bible prophecies, signs indicating that the return of Jesus Christ is drawing near.
As followers of Christ, we should be watching for Him. We need to be ready to go.
Jesus, speaking about His return, said, “Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning, as though you were waiting for your master to return from the wedding feast. . . . The servants who are ready and waiting for his return will be rewarded”
(Luke 12:35-37)
Are you ready for His return? To be ready means to be engaged in activities that you wouldn’t be ashamed to be doing if Jesus were to return. It’s a good idea to periodically ask ourselves this question: This place that I am about to go, this thing that I am about to do, would I be embarrassed if I were doing it when Jesus came back?”
Think about your plans. Is there anything you will be doing today, tonight, or tomorrow that you would be ashamed to do if Christ were to return? If so, then change your plans. You want to be ready for His return.
Not only should we be ready, but we should anxiously await the return of Christ.
We used to have a German Shepherd who slept outside the bedroom, leaning against our door. We didn’t let him sleep in our room because he often had nightmares and would wake us up. Every morning when we opened the door, he rolled into the room. Then he’d jump up and start running in circles. He was genuinely happy to see us.
That is how we should be waiting for Christ’s return. And anything that might prevent us from saying “Come quickly, Lord Jesus” is out of place in our lives.
In addition to waiting, we should be working. Every now and then, someone predicts that Jesus will return on a specific date. People believe these predictions and start quitting their jobs or divorcing their spouses.
But that is not what we should be doing as we wait for the return of Christ. Instead, we should be working for Him.
The Bible says, “Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works”
(James 2:26)
If watching is the evidence of faith, then working is the evidence of faith in action. Watching for the Lord’s return will help us prepare our own lives. But working will ensure that we bring others with us to Heaven.
The great British preacher C. H. Spurgeon said, “It is a very blessed thing to be on the watch for Christ. . . . You can be poor without murmuring; you can be rich without worldliness; you can be sick without sorrowing; you can be healthy without presumption. If you are always waiting for Christ’s Coming, untold blessings are wrapped up in that glorious hope”
When you live in the anticipation of Christ’s return, it’s a happy way to live.
I'm so glad the TH-cam algorithm decided to recommend your video and I clicked on it. It's a fascinating thing to watch the process and journey that the AI goes through, while the presentation of the whole video is equally fantastic. Great video, you all deserve a round of applause for the effort and quality put into this whole project.
Such an amazing first video - can't wait to see what you do next.
This was absolutely amazing, my friend! Please do more of these! I must admit I was disappointed that you didn't do the whole game 😂
As a physicist i appreciate those visualizations. This is truly remarkable content.
wtf does you being a physicist have to do with anything? guess you just wanted attention.
Haven't even finished the video yet, but I want this to pop off in the Algorythm, this video had tons of efforts put into it, and deserves to get out there.
I've got some good news for you, that's how I found this video
The algorithm brought me here
Guess I'll throw on a comment too then. This is great!
yesss this was so cool
Thanks then
This is a masterpiece! I really respect you that made all of these including video editing. What a talent!
It's a very qualitative video
All the screens view and different IA moving make it very pleasant to watch! Thanks
watching the little reds go round like an ant colony brings me so much joy and i don't know why. look at them all exploring. learning. discovering the world. lil guys. thank you for spending at least 1000USD and several hours putting this together just for me to uncontrollably laugh at the reds for 20 minutes
..with that out of the way, fantastic video. incredibly readable visuals and clear voiceover, awesome topic, understandable for several levels of previous knowledge. can see this hitting the high hundred thousands.
I was looking for this comment because I thought the same!!! It was like watching ants!! Just amazing!! This video exploded my mind... Imagine a Pokemon game were you can compete against a real "rival" (blue) in real time just to see who wins the league first... And every run the rival gets different pokemons with different moves... This guy is just insane, this is like a Pandora box!!!! New sub for sure!!!! And thank you for this video Peter!!!!!
The AI naming Squirtle “AAAAAAAAAA” killed me! 😂Thanks, amazing content.
AI picked the Squirtle in Pokemon Red lol what a contrarian
i was hoping someone else had mentioned this
@@RevanBC that was its only option...
@@Tyler-qh7bf
No you can pick 2 other pokemon! idiot.
Pigeoto was ‐-----------
12:34, You coulda just added a reward for "foe damaged" and directly added the damage dealt as a reward, this would've encouraged it to try other moves the moment it sees that reward occur via any battle. Could've also added a penalty for move depletion, with bigger losses for the more expensive moves, encouraging it to balance move usage.
I’m guessing the first suggestion would make the AI just stay and constantly battle Pokemon in the first area
@@HieronymousLex Hadn't thought of that, but yeah I guess the penalty for move depletion would deal with that by accident
@@HieronymousLexif in New tile give points for super effective 30s cooldown after battle
I cannot believe i am actually watching this intently. Its so fascinating! And how you apply the AIs experiences with that of a human's experience in the real world is exceptionally well done. Good job mate!
It's one thing to set all this up, and it's another to visualize and present it in such a coherent and digestible way. You did both so well! Hope to see more content from you in the future
Agreed! This video is insane!
I can't believe it's done by individual. Super high quality.
They told me my Pokémon phase would pass. Little did they know, it was just evolving into an AI obsession!

This might be the coolest video of AI playing a video game I've ever seen. I love all the fascinating emergent behaviours (especially the RNG manipulation), as well as the analogies you draw to humans. I also love that you presented the technical explanations in a way that allowed me understand almost everything without any programming knowledge, just a decent understanding of AI. Genuinely amazing job, I hope to see more like this in the future! :)
superb video, text and learning, good job!
Also, on the relatableness of experience, occurrences and patterns, there's memetic we use now more than ever to render perceptible the archetypal moment in videogames where a point of inflection occurs and hold a certain humour that we choose to transmit via memes later on.
Seeing high effort videos like these from relatively low sub channels always surprises me. Definitely deserves more recognition/subs.
It's the only video on bro's account lmfao wdym
@@napoleonbonerfarte6739lol was about to write this too
Good things take time
And people who over react to low sub channels being high quality doesn't surprise me. Lots and lots of dumdums out there
I honestly expected this video to be from a youtuber with thousands of subscribers, to see that you only have 60 baffles me, this is an incredibly well-made and well-put together video.
yeah i thought the same, its gone up to 400 now but still nuts
tbf, it's his first video.
@@androsp9105 yeah I only realised that after I left this comment, even more nuts lmao
He’s gained nearly 5,000 in a few days. Very good going.
Misuse of commas.
Trainer: Dude, cmon! you lost! go away!.
Red: No, i didn't.
We need more! this was so fascinating, informative and entertaining.
I hope your able to make an ai finish the game one day, it would make for one hell of a video!
Thank you!!
As a psych prof I'm always trying to think of different ways to explain certain concepts and give relatable examples, and this one is perfect!
They tell me I’m crazy here 🤪
@@MasteringSilenceCrazy? I was crazy once
@@norabarlow17 you only lose your mind once… They put me in a rubber room with rubber rats…
@@norabarlow17they locked me in a room. A rubber room with rats.
As a psych professor can you explain the appeal to these people repeating the copy paste comments?
Also just to be clear I'm also asking out of genuine curiosity if there may be psychological reasons past the basic wanting to be a part of something, and not just trying to hate on them or anything ✌
Very impressive. I'm looking forward to any future content you upload
Insanely well made video, rare that I want to go out of my way to share videos with people but this is really impressive. Lots of extra "human lessons" in here that you glossed over, like the Pokémon Center trauma for example. Super good man
Since I'm all into both Pokémon and coding, TH-cam suggested your video just minutes after you uploaded it. I subscribed after a few minutes watching it, and now I watched it again and noticed you have almost 50k subscribers! With just one video! Please take that as a public, worldwide testament of the effort you have put into this. Thank you so much!
Broke yt 😂

Fellas, I'm an AI engineer, with a short background in Reinforcement Learning for a period I interacted with Sony for a job.
I need you to understand the MAGNITUDE of these results. It's an insane work, and I'm sad that probably only a few might understand the sheer amount of skill require to do this.
Insane job man, you are a goat
This is no understatement . This takes a level of focus and problem solving that is just not normal. Savage!
I’m not even an engineer, and my jaw is on the ground.
I genuinely would love to learn how to become a part of this world. I wish there were more people in my circle with hobbies and fascinations like this.
I used to help write xml codes for world of Warcraft bots when I was a kid. Now laying in bed with an alarm set for five hours from now. I’ve got a sales job… is 33 years old too old to learn how to work in this scene?
This video drips with knowledge, and a wisdom and understanding of something that I have no idea how to even begin to approach.
Kudos!!
I wouldnt say those results are impressive theory wise ? The impressiveness of the work comes from a technical point of view, how great he managed to link the RL model with the game and the fine-tuning he put in it. By the way, AI engineer doesnt really mean anything, what is your job title ? Out of curiosity
@bricegardner7815 no age is too high. With enough determination and curiosity you can definitely pivot. Look into videos explaining the skills required to get a job in game development/ AI.
@@alr9447 I am officially a data scientist, but within the team I'm the guy responsible of the training of the ML models, therefore I make this distinction because nowadays "data scientist" is too broad. In most big tech companies, AI engineer is a common notation to distinguish between the data science folks
First and only video of the channel and it already is a banger like this... Great work there amigo.
Btw. I really appreciate you leaving the project opensource. I hope I can improve it in some way in my own experiments...
Amazing model organization and execution, amazing post production, amazing communication of novel and or complex concepts in a way everyone can understand. Well done and well worth the multi million likes you’ve gotten
This is their first TH-cam Upload, it’s crazy to me how much work, effort and money went into its production without having built an audience on an already successful channel before. Mad props to you Peter.
I am looking forward to see what else you will create.
He is an employee of Amazon Headquarters in Seattle 👏🏽👌🏽 He is smart af
That was incredible! I’ve always wondered if this was possible, I’m blown away by what the AI was able to learn! The visualizations and presentation were excellent, I hope this video reaches a wide audience!
More more more! What an outstanding first video! Can't wait for more from you!
The fact you walk through running everything for everyone else is so generous. Thanks!
Holy crap this is your very first YT video? I can't wait to see what you cook up if you continue to create! Outstanding work!
Tbh I didn’t know youtube algorithm allowed channel with 1 video to pop off like this. Over 1 million views in 7 days?? If this video was posted in a sizable channel, it might have been even 10 times more.
he paid for the view XD@@clickpwn

Bro honestly this is TH-cam video of the year. How spectacularly you presented this information in such a clear and entertaining way that is honestly on the level of professional science productions like Cosmos. Absolutely colossal performance man. I wouldn’t be surprised if you had an entire production team.
thank you for the kind words :)
no production team, but my friend @torinblankensmith made the thumbnail
I second this. I'm super interested in the content, but at the same time I'm like.... However did he make this look so good.

This was so much fun to watch, and I have no idea how it works - that’s all you buddy, fantastic quality of video. Really looking forward to seeing an AI speedrun in this format if it’s even possible 😊
I’ve got no idea who you are but i can say how proud i am that someone tried this and had the patience to gather such interesting, noteworthy and valuable insights. Great work fam. Awesome explanations as well
Everything about this was amazing, the computational approach, the video edit, the tone, the explanations and the real life parallels. Beautiful work!
Dropping a comment to help the algorithm. This video honestly deserves millions of views. I love the part where the AI learned to RNG manip to catch a Rattata. It's one of those moments that's unexpected at first but when you go back and look at it it's like, "oh, of course it would react like that!" Moments like those are why I love AI learning videos like this.
Breaking down some really cool tech for the layman just earned you another sub! Great video mate 👍
This is probably the best video on youtube, engaging, funny, and excellent way to learn difficult subject.
I remember back when there were 1 or 2 reinforcement learning videos on YT.
Now we get all sorts.
But this one...this one is special. The production value here is excellent.
Thanks for all of your hard work.
This was awesome, I'd love to see a full series of the AI completing the game.
Yes!!
downloaded it and train the ai more
And then i'd like to see it completing the game as fast as possible. An AI speedrun competition: winner gets 100,000 arbitrary points
Clicked on this for pokemon, stayed for a philosophy lesson
This is cool. I’ve seen plenty of these ai videos on different games but this one has gone the most in depth to the technical side of it. I am very interested in learning more now
This is like such a classic example of how AI thinks differently from humans. It can't figure out how to get past a ledge but its pattern recognition is so strong that it figured out friggin RnG manipulation by itself.
We humans also have reward systems. Everything "living" does. It's different to an AI model. But who's to say that we're not just an AI model with different base rewards?
@@NikhilAutar The term "artificial" is meaningless unless it's being used to mean "made by humans". Since we didn't design ourselves, we aren't AI by any useful meaning of the term. But at the core, this way of designing AI is designed to mimic how humans learn, so you're not far off.
Not only the pokemon gains EXP points, the AI gains EXP too
@@plasmakitten4261 We'd be artificial to whoever designed us/this haha
I think completely opposite :D This (video) was prime example of how phenomenons that happens with humans can be put into numbers used by AI learning. Our learning = pattern recognitions based on the rewards we've gotten. They aren't as vivid with "Getting 3 points on catching pokemon", but rather intuitive that happens automatically.
I really like how grounded and transparent your breakdown of the AI capabilities and limitations is, it shows it as a tool and not as a magical solve-all-problems strategy. Also, what a masterful storyteller and explainer you are. This video is very well paced and laid out, congrats!
Yes it's limited but imagine what it could become in a few more years 🤖
As much as I love everything in your video and the time/thought you put into it, I’m also glad you got a large amount of views and subscribers. Something with this much effort deserves appreciation no matter how small or large a channel is. The fact this is your first video for this channel inspires me a lot to continue editing my own videos, despite the time it takes to get it done. I hope to follow your journey as you come out with more videos like this, keep it up!
Phenomenal video with wonderful visualizations, great practical comparisons, and great educational content. No doubt, you've inspired many people to learn more about AI.
Just 10 minutes in, and it has already gotten so damn interesting! The behaviors, the systems, the events, the unexpected but explainable scenarios, the AI literally experiencing something comparable to trauma? I want to see more!
The Red swarm wasn't enough?
me too sad when he stop at moon mt.
The AI doesn't experience anything because it's not a conscious entity. It experiences as much as Microsoft Word when you open it.
@@Elintasokas😅😂😂
@@Elintasokas Based on my PCs heavy breathing when I open Word I assume its orgasming.
Not sure if its been said already, but, I would love to see them beat the game. Then we can see what levels they got to and what they thought was the best pokemon to have for the elite 4. Would be interesting.
Charizard with Slash, easy
This will took a looooott of time and video preparation edit etc. But I agree would be awesome
i really doubt if the AI can solve the Stone Moving "Puzzles" inside the IceCave and VictoryRoad thou.
Can it even be teached to learn and use the VMs?
but id love to see it :D
I think it would be hard to program the rewards to get them through the specific obstacles tho like using cut in certain places etc
Yeah they would shatter Wersters Speedrun World Record!
I love this video, idk what you have planned for the future of this channel, but I can't wait to see it!
This video is amazing! The AI part must have taken hundreds of hours or even over 1000 and the editing must have taken dozens of hours. Almost 5 million views and 50k subscribers in 2 months is a lot and well deserved.
This was an amazing project and explanation. You should submit this to The Journal of Geek Studies if you don't have a publication lined up already.
Wah is that a thing?
@@seveneyes77 Yep! They are an online publication that uses geek culture as a way to popularize science. They had a bunch of articles from the biology if final fantasy monsters to the effectiveness of super man disguise.
The accidental traumatic depositing of Pokémon in the center is rather hilarious, and the Magikarp/fast food analogy is beautiful. Picking left is an ancient gaming trick, not surprised AI picked it up/that we make games that reward it. And lastly the short-term memory bit seems to me a great idea to solve this (and also, accidentally, rather human :P).
I was feeling sad for the AI who must have thought it accidentally killed its Pokémon 🥲😂
The only flaw in the fast food analogy is we'd need to learn that in the future eating fast food will make you live longer (or something else awesome) given what Magikarp evolves into!
i thought the traumatic experience was super interesting too and funny lol
it’s really crazy how much of human psychology can be compared to AI behaviors
Or how it’s behavior might exist because of its creator
I'm deeply impressed by how the AI, despite being non-human, developed opinions and experiences so similar to ours. Huge respect for the dedication it took to create this.
It did nothing whatsoever of anything that you said there. You are falling into logical fallacies by attributing human experiences to the outward behavior of a completely braindead brute force bot which was fed explicit formulaic instructions.
Well @@JohnnyNatrium, it's incredibly common for humans to attribute human qualities and personify things that are clearly dead/braindead. It's common human behavior. The same reason many people believe plants feel pain when being cut or bugs can feel love.
@@halfpace1462 Of course. Did I say I am surprised that humans anthropomorphize things? I'm taking issue with the fact that people are mistaking this poetry for actual scientific homology and coming to almost scarily fallacious conclusions and claims based on this bias, including the narration in this video.
@@JohnnyNatrium Well said. You can't blame the narrator for this as this increases engagement in the viewers by a significant margin as seen by the comments, I agree that people are acting like this is actual poetry when it's not, but there is a certain comforting feeling about the process of the AI learning even if it's just a brute force robot. It's hard to take issue with the things people interpret as because it is simply human nature, even if taking issue with them is understandable.
@@JohnnyNatriumand I think you’re misinterpreting people’s comments. Of course the AI wasn’t actually traumatized by the computer. But that’s the best way to describe it using common and brief language. And someone saying “the AI reminds me of this human behavior” is probably not someone who thinks that the AI is developing sentience, but rather pointing the hilarity of similar actions by two wildly different things.
“Just hanging out and admiring the scenery is more rewarding than exploring the world”
Amazing work Peter! I look forward to see how this will progress
This video was fantastically made video. Thank you for this awesome visualisation of a complicated topic. Respect to everyone involved in this x
The technical expertise that went into this is astounding. As a lifelong pokénerd and career software engineer, I applaud you for capturing my attention with such a captivating topic and experiment. But as just a person, I thank you for relating it back to the human condition.
Realizing that we get distracted by false or incorrectly calibrated reward systems gives us awareness, the first step in the right direction toward pursuing real, meaningful value out of life. I would love to hear more of this from your obviously talented and insightful, inspirational mind.
this is honestly worthy of an entire course's final project at the graduate level. Thank you for making this freely available!
Isn’t it just! I’m currently half way through my final project for my MSc, with a relatively shit regression model predicting energy usage. 😂
This video was done incredibly! A perfect demo of and comparison to deep learning. A well earned follow. The dedication, creativity, and in depth descriptions are beyond impressive for this being the first video on this channel. Keep at it! I'll be looking forward to what ever you produce next!
This was really amazing and fun to watch! Immense amount of respect for the hard work you put in!!
I love how you equated the AI actions with human actions. This was fascinating. Great editing work.
This video reminds me of when I got Pokemon Yellow as a kid, I didn't read/speak english so I just had to try things to learn what everything did and was. It's weird how similar the AI playing feels to my experiences as a kid.
The Pokemon games (among TV and other games) actually helped me learn english at the age of 9 far before my classmates could and as a little extra ROM hacking got me into graphic design and coding/web development somehow. Pokemon in general is the base of my origin story.
damn bro that is deep.
Me with Spanish at 3 years old and English at 2 ahah Pokemon Azul and Pokemon Red 😅
When I first played Pokemon, just like yourself I was still a kid didn't know any English so I couldn't even save. The first few months was just like the AI, start from that little room and trial and error.
Hello fellow ESL player, i was like 5 when I got my first hand on pokemon. I was EXTREMELY upset when I accidentally start over the game (the copy was second hand and the saved file is from my older brother who already completed the game.) that I cried. I lost my brother's charizard, even the moltres he caught with an ultra ball because i couldnt understand a lick of English back then - overwriting his save accidentally, and I just love exploring the pokemon world more than battling them.
Only then 3 whole years later when I did restart and beat pokemon on my own, around 12 I became competently aiming to "gotta catch em all".
This is the coolest video I have ever seen! You did beautiful job visualising all the games being played simultaneously.
Where are the uploads
this man releases a single video in his career and makes the front page, keep the sick vids coming clearly a big name in the making dude you got this
1 video, 55k subs, 5.7M views. This is historic
Very amazing video!!I can't wait to see the next episode!!
I'm looking forward to seeing what other interesting things will happen when the AI reaches the end of the game.
"ooh, what's this place?"
"deposit Pokemon?"
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH"
*never returns*
this video is mindblowing. I have absolutely no clue how you collected and translated all this data into such cool visualizations, but i am in awe. this is so cool. thank you so much for making it!
An awesome video my dude! Had a great time watching it. The editing is top notch as well as the overall presentation. Thank you! Keep making great videos:))
incredible video editing and above all research. well done :D
As a Data Scientist, this was amazing to watch :) well done !
I wanted to be a Data Scientist then I realized I couldn't code😂
The amount of work you've put into this is so incredible. All of the self recording of _all_ of the AI iterations meant time spent (never wasted) for the sake of a single video. From the editing you've shown down to the research of how the human psyche works, this is beyond something I would even think to produce. You will go far in your endeavors.
This guy's first video and it's about using ai, so TH-cam AI said "I gochu"
Thank you so much for sharing this video! You clearly put so much effort in doing the experiments and also in preparing this quality youtube video to explain your results!
Thanks for sharing! Really well-made and thought-provoking

This is one of the best implementation and visualization videos on the subject I've ever seen. Amazing work!
