          Image generation models are generally more than capable of doing that they’re just not trained to do it.

          That is, just doing a bit of hand-holding and showing SDXL appropriately tagged images and you get quite sensible results. Under normal circumstances it just simply doesn’t get to associate any input tokens with the text in the pixels because people rarely if ever describe, verbatim, what’s written in an image. “Hooters” is an exception, hard to find a model on Civitai that can’t spell it.

        It’s been a while since I looked at how Valve does it but it could be called a primitive expert system. And while the HL1 grunts were extraordinary for their time, HL2’s combine grunts are still pretty much the gold standard. Without the AI leaking information to the player via radio chatter it would feel very much like the AI is cheating because yes, HL2’s grunts are better at tactics than 99.99% of humans. It also helps that you’re a bullet sponge so them outsmarting you, like leading you into an ambush, doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re done for.

        OTOH they’re a couple of pages of state-machines that would have no idea what to do in the real world.

        Also, for the record: “AI” in gamedev basically means “autonomous agent in the game world not controlled by the player”. A “follow the ball” algorithm (hardly can be called that) playing pong against you is AI in that sense. Machine learning approaches are quite rare, and if then you’d use something like NEAT, not the gazillion-parameter neutral nets used for LLMs and diffusion models. If you tell NEAT to, say, drive a virtual car it’ll spit out a network with a couple of neurons, and be very good at doing that but be useless for anything else but that doesn’t matter you have an enemy AI for your racer. Which probably is even too good, again, so you have to nerf it.

    LLMs (or really ChatGPT and MS Copilot) having hijacked the term “AI” is really annoying.

    In more than one questionnaire or discussion:

    Q: “Do you use AI at work?”

    A: “Yes, I make and train CNN (find and label items in images) models etc.”

    Q: “How has AI influenced your productivity at work?”

    A: ???

    Can’t mention AI or machine learning in public without people instantly thinking about LLM.

          The term machine learning was coined in 1959 by Arthur Samuel, an IBM employee and pioneer in the field of computer gaming and artificial intelligence.[9][10] The synonym self-teaching computers was also used in this time period.[11][12]

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning

          It wasn’t so much stolen as taken back.

        Luckily that was only the abbreviation and not the actual word. I know that language changes all the time, constantly, but I still find it annoying when a properly established and widely (within reason) used term gets appropriated and hijacked.

        I mean, I guess it happens all the time in with fiction, and in sciences you sometimes run into a situation where an old term just does not fit new observations, but please keep your slimy, grubby, way-too-adhesive, klepto-grappers away from my perfectly fine professional umbrella terms. :(

        Please excuse my rant.

    As an older developer, you could replace “machine learning” with “statistical modeling” and “artificial intelligence” with “machine learning”.

      I think people are hesitant to call ML “statistical modeling” because traditional statistical models approximate the underlying phenomena; e.g., a logarithmic regression would only be used to study logarithmic phenomena. ML models, by contrast, seldom resemble what they’re actually modeling.

      We used to distinguish AI as automatically / programmatically making a decision based on an ML model, but I’m guilty of calling it AI for wow factor, lol.

      Now I have to be careful because AI = LLMs in common language .

        Yes, and I’m saying there’s nothing wrong with that “buzz word.” It’s accurate, just more generic.

        I see a lot of people these days raising objections that LLMs and whatnot “aren’t really artificial intelligence!” Because they’re operating from the definition of artificial intelligence they got from science fiction TV shows, where it’s not AI unless it replicates or exceeds human intelligence in all meaningful ways. The term has been widely used in computer science for 70 years, though, applying to a broad range of subjects. Machine learning is clearly within that range.

          There’s a distinction into “narrow AI” and “Artificial General Intelligence”.

          AGI is that sci-fi AI. Whereas narrow AI is only intelligent within one task, like a pocket calculator or a robot arm or an LLM.

          And as you point out, saying that you’re doing narrow AI is absolutely not interesting. So, I think, it’s fair enough that people would assume, when “AI” is used as a buzzword, it doesn’t mean the pocket calculator kind.

          Not to mention that e.g. OpenAI explicitly states that they’re working towards AGI.

            If I built a robot pigeon that can fly, scavenge for crumbs, sing matings calls, and approximate sex with other pigeons, is that an AGI? It can’t read or write or talk or compose music or draw or paint or do math or use the scientific method or debate philosophy. But it can do everything a pigeon can. Is it general or not? And if it’s not, what makes human intelligence general in a way that pigeon intelligence isn’t?
