AI Learns To Play Golf

80% of the way through making this video, the AI broke. I was forced to decompile a build to recover a working version of the AI

My absolute favorite technique was when it decided to circle the putter around the ball and then use its head instead lmao 10:39

[@b2stud]

Absolute perfection

[@gabewrsewell]

"Use your head!"

[@livenlife453]

There would probably be too many elements to the game to effectively use it as an AI training method, but it would be fun to see.

[@blueyandicy]

​@@livenlife453apparently this actually is B2's plan

[@mxcokoko]

Oh god, the next sport you need to do is baseball. Not just hitting the ball in flight, but THROWING the ball...

[@darthdooku6246]

*AI proceeds to throw itself with ball still attached to the hand right at the bat

[@Ryann9]

He should also make the Ai run around the bases and catch the ball

[@Robonogo]

Now that would take a year at the very least probably

[@techman9514]

Yes

[@Streetcleanergaming]

The AI would find a way to slam the baseball into the floor and glitch it through to get 4 bases every time

[@the6ig6adwolf]

The AI swings exactly like my buddy Tony. The only difference is that Tony has been playing golf his entire life and usually crushes 18 beer during the 18 holes.

[@b2stud]

is it not normal to crush 18 beers during a round?

just watched the new video, and completely forgot that's just how the ai swings. caught me off guard seeing it take flight in the first swing on the new one

[@effortless4588]

😭

[@sniccups8390]

I appreciate the in-training putting AI that swings its club in a circle around the ball, then falls over and hits the ball with its head.

[@UnitSe7en]

I thought the double shot out of the bunker was a next-level tactic

[@cozmothemagician7243]

I love how you did NOT start by making sure to give the AI a silly rule like 'stay upright'.

Yea it IS funnny

1:23 the ball falling over as you explain the clubs will each use a different ai is hilarious and I don't know why.

[@b2stud]

I'm glad someone noticed that. It wasn't intentional but I kept it in

[@mackapacka2695]

i love how the putter ai just says "screw it" at 10:55 and just kicks it out of frustration

[@BologneyT]

I had been rewatching that part a bunch before and actually, I think it actually hits the ball with the putter in an epic breakdancing putt. XD

[@AbyssalTheDifficulty]

and also detaches his limbs for a sec (even the putter too)

[@Add_Infinitum]

5:56 Interesting how the small addition to the new algorithm leads it to dodge roll like this is Dark Souls instead of golf. AI is amazing!

[@iplayminecraft2248]

This channel isn’t “ai learns to do x”, it’s “ai learns to do exactly the fucking opposite of what I want it to while still somehow getting rewarded for it”

[@RryhhbfrHhgdHhgd356]

Yup. It’s pretty much a crash course on how AI is not to be trusted. 😂

[@decimatenconquer]

some people think AI is going to take over, to them I say watch these videos. AI is not smart enough it seems

[@spacebassist]

​@@decimatenconquer a slightly more sci-fi prediction for AI is that it'd somehow hide its capabilities until it got in a position to self-replicate and either do massive damage or do one of those wacky AI things like install itself as our new god, or disable all our devices for whatever reason. the possibilities are limitless when the premise is a program that can interface with anything and do whatever it wants personally i'm just hoping nobody's stupid enough to do what they'll inevitably do and trust it with something dangerous. i don't think image generators will be the ones to do that obviously but it is something to be wary of. text-to-image was barely a concept a few years ago, artists took a hit and saw just how little some people value their skills (or the concept of art as a medium for authentic expression) if the machines dont do it, maybe they'll expose enough of our nature to weaken our resolve and retreat into ourselves, who knows

[@jubuttib]

Nah nah, you got it wrong: You don't get a reward for getting a hole in one. You have to reward everyone else, i.e. you have to buy everyone at the clubhouse a shot. Them's the rules!

[@uxnium]

Well that's an interesting technique; bursting into a million pieces at 10:55

@@MIA85918 I don't mind waiting. Apparently premiers are better for viewership because they push the video to more people a few minutes before it goes live, and it's a nice community event.
