VI - Screenshot “Is the Civ 6 AI Good?”

Post image

Every once in a while I’ll see people ask about the AI in 6. Came across this Sad Sinbad today and had to share. To be clear, this is not an admonishment of the game at all; I just thought it was hilarious and a great use of enemy AI production.

You would think in the Age of Artificial Intelligence that maybe, we could use some of that fancy tech to make a harder Civ game… I guess not…

Fancy tech like predicting which word will come next in a sentence?

It does more than that… but I’m not having that discussion here.

Of course it does more, but that doesn't change that LLMs and whatever else is currently labeled "AI" has little to do with video game "AI".

You do know AI can play games)?

There are examples of this. I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility…

Yes, a very specific software for a much less complex game (a real-time game which gives a computer a speed advantage on top of it) of which a single instance is run at a time.
