Are there any uses for AI yet that aren't either: 1. Doing things humans do for fun. 2. Doing things that AI is horribly terrible at. ?

#52> Pokémon Red takes 25 hours on average for a new player to complete. Seriously? I've never really played video games, but i remember spending so much time on pokemon red when i was young. Not sure if i ever really finished more than once. But i'm pretty sure i must have played for more than 50h or so before even close to finish. My memory might trick me though. Not sure which pokemon version it was, but i got so hoo…
It definitely took me way more than 25 hours as a kid to beat Pokemon Blue! But I was so young that I didn't understand that "Oak: Hello!" meant that someone called Oak was talking. The glitched Pokemon you're talking about is Missingno by the way! I remember surfing up and down Cinnabar Island to do the same thing.

a cool idea, except that battling actually doesn't even matter to the ai. if you look at what the agent is doing during a battle, it is sort of spamming options + picking damaging attacks. it would be a stretch to say that agents were 'good' at battling...
if youve done the work to to make the rival rl based and have the ability to go around youd probably have added basic battle controls

#55What an awesome project! I'm curious - I would have thought that rewarding unique coordinates would be enough to get the agent to (eventually) explore all areas, including the key ones. What did the agents end up doing before key areas got an extra reward? (and how on earth did you port Pokémon red to a RL environment? O.o)
The environments wouldn't concentrate enough in the Rocket Hideout beneath Celadon Game Corner. The agent would have the player wander the world reward hacking. With wild battles enabled, the environments would end up in Lavender Tower fighting Gastly. > (and how on earth did you port Pokémon red to a RL environment? O.o) Read and find out :)

you dont port it you wrap it. you can put anything in an rl environment. usually emulators are done with bizhawk, and some lua. worst case theres ffi or screen capture.

the game has been beaten by fish
dyor we only tested it with a pufferfish, courtesy of puffer.ai / pufferlib RL library. i promise it doesn't work with random inputs.

Thanks haha, I kept reading =D I see, so it's not just that you have to visit the key areas, they need to show up in the episodes enough to provide a signal for training.
