  • Isn’t that just one more in a long line of examples of software companies neglecting to write code that they could easily write, instead leaving a machine learning model to cover over that neglect at great expense?

    Running an AI to figure out how to solve a hard part in a game uses tons of electricity and water. Putting in a cheat code uses no additional resources. In most cases, games do already have cheat codes that were just never released to the public, for testing. It seems overtly neglectful to me to leave those out of a single player game for an AI to do, when they could do it themselves with often no additional effort.

    I think using a cheat code and beating it yourself is way more fun than watching someone/something else do it.
