AA vs AI

"Ace Attorney developer responds as AI research pits various models against original game with mixed results"

"It's supposed to be simple for a human."

And from one of the comments under the article:

"I mean, I get it and I do get what they're trying to do here... but did any of the AI models laugh at any of the jokes? Did any of the AI models catch any of the references to pop culture or other games? Did any of the AI models fall in love with the characters and want to follow them around as the series progressed and they even made cameos in other games? Do any of the AI models now knowingly yet jokingly shout 'Objection!' with finger extended when they disagree with something?

"To me regardless of how well or how poorly the AI models 'solved the crimes' it seems like they completely missed the point of the games."




This is sort of like that China robots marathon story from a few days ago. A bunch of robots ran in a half-marathon alongside humans. Some of the robots managed to finish the race, some of them never even made it off the starting line, but only one of them barely managed to finish within the "human participation award" time limit of around three hours.

I think when these researchers stop trying to get their LLMs/running robots/whatever to perfectly emulate/surpass/replace humans (outside of maybe novelty shit like the above examples, just for shits and giggles) and focus on the strengths of what they're actually good at and useful for, we, all of us (humans, AI, and robots alike), probably will be better off. (Unless "what they're actually good at and useful for" turns out to be "exterminating humans," of course. ¬_¬)

Been following this one for a while now (note that this is entirely unrelated to Turnabout Storm, aside from them both being MLP/Phoenix Wright crossover-ish things). And now it's released. I'm actually kind of shocked that it somehow managed to make it out without being hit with a Hasbro C&D like most other things.

I just walked in the door to my Redmond, WA condo from the airport about an hour and a half or so ago. Up until then, I'd been in North Carolina, since December 22, 2013.

What I did during the past month-plus, in no particular order:

Here is what I plan to do now:

Also, while I'm on the subject of MLP:FIM, the Phoenix Wright/Friendship is Magic crossover series has completed as of the other day. I've made posts about this before, but I'm just going to repost all of the videos here.

Or you could just go watch it on Youtube itself I guess.

This is the second half of episode 3. (EDIT) They reuploaded and deleted the old one. Fixed video below. (/EDIT)



Here are episodes 1 & 2 and the first half of episode 3.

I post this for the one or two people on my f-list who may be fans of both Phoenix Wright and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

(EDIT) Not to be confused with this, of course, as those are two entirely separate projects. (/EDIT)

Part 3 of this thing has been released.

(EDIT)

And now that I've had a chance to actually watch it, all I can say is that, at least as far as this particular thing is concerned: Rarity is best pony.

As I said last time, I intended to make the next Game Music Thing be one based on the Ace Attorney series. Here is that one.

To make this somewhat simpler (since otherwise I'd just be posting the entire soundtracks for all of the games), here are some rules. For each game that has the same type of track throughout the series (courtroom, objection, pursuit, etc.) I am going to pick the one (1) that is my favorite from one (1) game. Beyond that, however, for game/character specific stuff, I'll just go with whatever.

You know the drill. )

Okay, I'm sure there's probably only at most maybe 2 or 3 people on my friends lists (LJ and FB combined) who would be interested in this, honestly, and that's assuming they weren't already aware of it.

Sadly, parts 3 and 4 aren't out yet. I'll be keeping an eye on this though, to be sure.

Also, here's something similar to the above, except it is (or at least will be) an actual game.

I just completed Phoenix Wright on the Wii. Except for the fifth case, which was DS exclusive from what I gather. It will be unlockable via download, but isn't actually available yet.

It was a very good game, and I will definitely be buying the next two when they become available on Wiiware in the coming months, and will also likely get the other games for DS as well (Apollo Justice, and the upcoming Miles Edgeworth game).

Even managed to finish it without needing to consult a walkthrough or anything like that either. I did have to reload a few times due to screwing up in the trial phases a few times though.

I have to say, I'm really glad they're releasing these games via Wiiware. I didn't have a DS until well after they first came out, and later when I was looking to maybe buy them after I got a DS, I only saw them available for ridiculously inflated prices on ebay and Amazon marketplace and such. Well, the earlier games were like that anyway, and I didn't really want to just start in the middle of the series with the relatively cheaper but later games. Now, apparently, the first three games are coming to Wiiware, with the first already available now.

I've been playing it since yesterday, and so far it's definitely as awesome as I've heard. I'm up to the beginning of the fourth case, Tournabout Goodbyes or whatever.

Now that I know the others are also on the way for Wiiware, maybe I can go ahead and look into getting the later DS games as well before they reach horribly inflated price status (assuming they don't also get released for Wiiware at some point).
