Chapter 459: Artificial intelligence?
“How is this possible? This effective control ratio … Is inhuman!” Goph exclaimed in shock.
Obviously, from the APM data, Origin’s hand speed was very fast, but it was still within the range of a human’s hand speed. Chen Mo and Goph could reach this APM.
But 98% effective control? This data was very abnormal!
The so-called effective operation referred to some operations that had practical significance. For example, right-clicking to move, form up, kick out of formation, attack, release skills, and so on.
Nullifying operations meant meaningless movements, repeated formation, and striking F1 multiple times, which wouldn’t affect the battle too much.
A normal expert could maintain a relatively high APM. In a large-scale battle, the peak APM could even reach 600 or 700. This was mixed with a large number of ineffective operations. These ineffective operations weren’t to increase the APM value, but mainly to warm up their hands. Through these seemingly meaningless operations, they could maintain their hand speed to a relatively high level.
In fact, most players with around 300 APM could become a professional player in Warcraft, which meant that RTS games needed a higher level of APM. Reaching 400 was basically the level of a G.o.d.
Out of these 400 APM, only 60% to 70% were effective operations. For many players, the higher the APM, the more ineffective the operations.
Even Chen Mo would have some ineffective actions when playing Warcraft, which could only be attributed to the limits of the human body. No matter how fast one’s hands were, they would have to repeat some actions to maintain their feel.
But Origin could maintain an average APM of around 400, and at the same time, the effective operation ratio could reach 98%?
In other words, he was actually better at the details than Chen Mo!
This was very unscientific!
Chen Mo looked at everyone.”So, Origin might be an AI.”
“How is that possible?” Zou Zhuo’s first reaction was disbelief,”the old players in Warcraft can easily destroy the crazy computers, and that’s only if the computers get extra gold.” How can this AI be so powerful?”
Goph also nodded.”That’s right. Origin really can’t be seen as a computer. Its operations and tactics are no different from humans.” Could it be some sort of cheat?”
“A hack?” zou Zhuo asked.
Goph nodded.”Yes, external software. In other words, an a.s.sistive program. For example, Origin was originally an expert in the US server, but his skills were not that good. Now that he has a new hack that can automatically pull minions, he is one with the machine, so his strength has improved rapidly. ”
Chen Zhao shook his head,”I have to emphasize one thing. The calculated effective operation rate is 98%, and it is calculated according to an evaluation standard I designed. For example, sending two movement or attack commands to the same unit within 0.5 seconds is considered a repet.i.tive operation and invalid operation. ”
“However, this evaluation standard is targeted at normal people and normal players. It’s impossible for a normal person to issue two commands to the same unit in 0.5 seconds, but what if it’s an AI?”
“You mean …” Goph frowned.
Chen Mo nodded.”Yes. It is very likely that Origin did not think that his move was useless. It was just that they changed their strategy in 0.5 seconds.”
“In other words, Origin thinks that its effective operation is 100%.”
“……”
At this point, gaph and the rest of the people present understood.
Obviously, Origin could not have been created by other players using cheats or scripts. As long as a player was still playing, it would definitely be invalid. No expert could avoid this.
In other words, Origin was very likely to be a complete computer program. It was an AI, an artificial intelligence.
Zou Zhuo was still in disbelief.
It wasn’t just him, the other people present were also in disbelief.
This was because many people felt that AI still had a long way to go before it could conquer RTS games.
He didn’t expect it to come so suddenly!
……
The second day after Origin reached the top of the Korean and European servers, the popularity of Origin on the internet had started to spread from the Warcraft player base to many other players.
This incident had already become the biggest news of the month, and it was quickly spreading to other groups of players.
This was because Origin had dominated the Korean and European servers. These two servers were known to be full of strong players, and there were many very strong professional players. Origin was still able to maintain all their victories and reach the top. This was simply too terrifying.
In other words, Origin’s current strength had already surpa.s.sed the professional players from the Korean and European servers!
On the forums, not only Warcraft players, but many other PC and even some VR players were talking about this mysterious Master Origin. They were talking about the series of unbelievable things he did in Warcraft.
“Have you heard? There’s a Super Master in Warcraft!”
“Ah? RTS games were already dead, and he was still a master? Now it’s League of Legends’s world!”
“F * ck, this lousy player is so proud? In terms of compet.i.tion, Warcraft will completely crush your League of Legends!”
…”Why did you start a chain of contempt? It’s the first time I’ve seen two games from the same company go at each other. It’s all Chen Mo’s work, why are you guys fighting over it?”
“Okay, we’re off topic. This time, we’re talking about Origin. Those who don’t care, leave. Don’t cause trouble.”
“I’ve watched Origin’s video. It feels like we’re back to the time when Chen Mo wreaked havoc on the stairway tree when Warcraft was just released! It’s the same fancy slaughter, and the control is really detailed. It feels invincible in a head-on fight!”
“As a player with 3000 points in the stairway tree, I think Origin is better at controlling the details than Chen Mo, especially in the few games he played on the US server. In some games, he didn’t even lose a single minion. He’s insane!”
“Alright, that’s just a noob bullying game. There’s nothing to say. Chen Mo is definitely better in terms of viewing experience. Chen Mo used a random race to win the server, but Origin only knows how to play the elf race. ”
“Why do I feel like this is a cheater? I had suspected that this was an AI before, but Chen Zhao proved that he had made it himself. However, Chen Mo’s control was already at the limit of a human. Origin is even more op than Chen Mo. How is that possible?”
“I think so too. And Origin was from the US server. How many RTS Masters could there be in the US server? It’s most likely some kind of black technology. ”
“Yes, I think Origin should show itself. He’s reached the top of the US server, then the Korean server, and the European server. If it were me, I would’ve come out and bragged a long time ago. How could he still be so quiet and silent?
