Evermore also had a lot of bugs. I remember getting softlocked so many times in the game. SoM had a few bugs too, but I didn’t recall being softlocked as often.

This. At some point, everything just happened to be ‘AI’. It’s stupid.

To put it in perspective, I just watched a YouTube video where someone claimed that they wrote a program to win at minesweeper using AI. All of it was handwritten conditional checks and there was no training element to it. It plays the same way every time, but since minesweeper is random by nature it ‘appears’ to be doing something different. Worse, to ‘win’ is just to beat a level under a certain time, not to improve upon that time or improve win rates.

The sad thing is that various levels of AI are/were defined, but marketing is doing a successful job at drowning out fact checkers. Lots of things that weren’t considered AI now are. You have media claiming Minecraft is AI because it makes use of procedural generation – Let’s forget the fact that Diablo came out years earlier and also uses it… No the important thing is that the foundation for neural networks were being laid as early as the 1940’s and big projects over the years using supercomputers like DeepBlue, Summit, and others are completely ignored.

AI has been around, it’s been defined, and it’s not here yet. We have glorified auto-complete bots that happen to be wrong to a tolerable point so businesses have an excuse to layoff people. While there are some amazing things it can do sometimes, the AI I envisioned as a child doesn’t exist quite yet.

No. But I do sing the victory fanfare tune from final fantasy every time I do some small thing. Wash dishes? Victory! Laundry? Victory! Cook dinner? Victory! Take a shit? Victory!

I like to think that whenever we discover something new, the universe just got an update and we discovered the patch notes.
