Chapter 464: The real artificial intelligence
The first match ended.
Initially, light had the advantage because of their luck in the early stages, but in the middle of the game, Origin seized the opportunity and the situation slowly went out of control. In the end, after a direct team battle, light ended up with a GG.
In the second round, both teams were at an even more disadvantageous position for stallight, further away on the big map!
Being further away meant that both sides had more time to develop. It would be difficult to use rush tower’s tactics to catch Origin off guard.
This time, everyone could clearly see that although both sides were leveling at the same speed, Origin was clearly better at some details. They had a health advantage in the early game.
Moreover, Origin did not drag out their development with team light. Instead, they were always actively hara.s.sing and attacking. They played very aggressively, which made team light’s mentality explode.
In the end, in the second game, Origin started to s...o...b..ll even faster. The population gap between the two sides quickly widened and light once again typed GG.
In the opening battle of the battle between humans and machines, Origin had given the humans a 2:0!
In the experience store, the people watching the battle sighed.
“We’ve lost! It’s even less suspenseful than I imagined!”
“Sigh, what a pity. Actually, there was a chance in the first round, but Starlight did not grab it.”
“What chance do you have? Even if Starlight had a slight advantage in the first round, the difference in population was not wide at all. As long as you let Origin survive, it will be a slow death because it is better than you in every team battle!”
“Indeed, if you want to fight, you have to kill it in one wave. It’s different from human players. When playing against a human player, you could expect them to make a mistake in the next wave, but Origin? There’s almost no mistakes!”
“How do we fight this? Why do I feel that this offline version of Origin is even more insane than the one that played the stairway to heaven in the Korean server?”
All the major live-streaming websites were also filled with despair.
The bullet screen was already filled with a bunch of “GG”. This was not to praise Origin, but to mourn the human players!
……
After the meeting, the organizers held a press conference. Starlight was not in a good mental state and was listless.
Starlight first bowed to the audience.””I’m sorry, I’ve let everyone down!”
Next, he expressed the despair he felt when he played against Origin offline.
“Actually, when I fought Origin on the stairway, I felt that Origin’s operation was very powerful. However, in terms of tactics and decisions, I did not feel that it was any different from humans. So, I once mistook origin for a human.”
“But after today’s fight, I finally realized how terrifying Origin is. The scariest thing about it isn’t that it completely overpowers the human’s micro-control. Although it’s also very scary, its APM has already been restricted, so it’s only slightly better than the human players. ”
“What’s really scary about it is that it’s an artificial intelligence that will never make mistakes. As long as there’s enough information, its judgment of the situation is absolutely correct, or rather, has a high probability of being correct. The probability of being incorrect is so low that it’s almost impossible to appear.”
“And it won’t have any emotional fluctuations. In other words, you know very well that you’re facing an opponent who will never make a mistake. ”
“When you see a silver cylinder in front of an empty seat, the sense of powerlessness will be particularly strong. To be honest, in the second round, I knew that I could not beat Origin. It seemed like origin was winning every time we had a small conflict. This kind of slow death made me feel depressed. ”
These words made many of the audience and professional players shiver. As the first professional player to play against Origin offline, stallight could feel much more than the audience.
As Starlight had said, this was the scariest thing about artificial intelligence. It would not make mistakes or act on impulse. It could always accurately judge the situation on the battlefield.
When it avoided battle, it didn’t mean that it couldn’t beat you, but that it had better choices.
When it dueled with you, then … You might already be able to type GG.
This feeling of having his fate completely in his grasp was one of the reasons why stallight’s mental state had exploded. Otherwise, he would not have lost so quickly in the second round.
Of course, even if they could hold on for a little longer, they would not be able to change the outcome of their defeat.
……
The news of Starlight’s defeat spread all over the world in an instant, and this piece of news also attracted even more attention!
It could be said that this news made those people who felt that artificial intelligence was not up to standard realize the reality.
In the past, if artificial intelligence wanted to defeat humans in RTS games, they could only rely on G.o.d-defying operations. For example, all the troops were A-Cla.s.s, completely crushing humans in terms of operation.
However, it was clear that this was not a victory at all, because this kind of unbelievable operation was simply bullying. RTS should be called a real-time strategy game, not a real-time operation Game, and the AI had never won against humans in strategy.
Also, many of the “A.I.” That created hype in the past, including the crazy computers that came with Warcraft, actually operated in a completely different way from A.I. This was because the AI obtained information directly from the game’s code, just like a full-map hack, so it could accurately judge the current situation.
In other words, this was actually cheating, and real artificial intelligence could not do this.
A real artificial intelligence must be like humans, reading game data with “vision”, judging the current situation based on limited information, and then making decisions (including short-term and long-term decisions). Otherwise, there would be no point in defeating the humans.
It was because of this that many people felt that as long as the APM of artificial intelligence was limited and it was restricted from reading in-game data, it could not be compared with humans at all because there were many things that it could not do.
For example, under the cover of the fog of war, how could one understand all the intentions of the other party and accurately judge the current situation? How could they determine if the other party was hara.s.sing them or trying to fight a decisive battle, or luring them away? ‘No matter how good the artificial intelligence is, I’ll just play rush tower and kill you. What’s the use of your good operation?’
However, after Origin beat Starlight, people were surprised to find that Origin had solved all these problems!
Starlight was a top-tier player in Warcraft, so how could he not know rush tower? Would he not know how to take advantage of a loophole? Why wouldn’t he win if he could?
It was obvious that there was only one reason for Starlight’s defeat, and that was because they could not win!
A lot of people thought that AI couldn’t play RTS games, just like how many people thought that AI couldn’t play Go. They all treated it as a crazy computer in the game and never thought of it as real AI.
A true AI would know how to explore the way in an RTS game, how to determine the enemy’s intentions through local information, and how to defend against tower rush and all sorts of strange tactics.
Just like how an artificial intelligence conquered go, it could eat all the game records in the world and then practice against itself. What tactics would it not be able to try out? If it realized that the best way to win the compet.i.tion was for rush tower, it would definitely turn the tables on the human players.
In other words, Origin wasn’t a complete map hack, but A real AI. It was a machine that knew how to play Warcraft.
After all, after five years of research and development, this world’s technological level had already reached that level.
After understanding this, many of the Warcraft professional players felt a sense of despair that they had never felt before. They could read Starlight’s despair from his post-match videos and empathized with him.
This was also the despair that all of the go players had felt earlier. No matter how hard they tried, they just couldn’t win!
Moreover, everyone knew that Origin’s appearance wouldn’t help Warcraft develop better. It would only make Warcraft and other similar games die faster.
This was because when people talked about the professional players in Warcraft, they would know that they were the top of the game. However, after Origin appeared, these professional players were no longer the top few. This was because there was only one top existence in this field, and that was the artificial intelligence Origin.
Who would want to play a game dominated by artificial intelligence?
