Jester's words made the people who had been slightly disappointed before excited again.

It even made them even happier.

Although Jester's experience is very useful to them, after all, asking questions by himself can ask some questions that they are very concerned about, and just listening to what others say, not necessarily hearing the questions that they most want to know, the most confused, and the most urgent to know the answers.

After Jester's words, dozens of arms were raised in an instant, and Jester didn't choose much, he pointed casually and said, "It's the long-haired girl with glasses." ”

The long-haired brown girl who was named was a little surprised, she didn't expect that she would be chosen among so many people.

Of course, she didn't just raise her hand to follow the crowd

She did have a question that she wanted to ask.

Moreover, the questions she asked were very level, and Jester's eyes lit up, he didn't expect these students to be able to ask such in-depth questions, this girl with long brown hair didn't think much, and the moment she stood up, she asked her own question: "Mr. Li, I really want to ask, about AI or artificial intelligence......"

This is an obvious question that many people want to know.

After the long-haired brown girl asked, Jester saw a mixture of excitement and anticrisy on the faces of many people, and it was clear that they were also interested in how they would answer the question.

"Huh."

Jester smiled first, for this kind of question that he hadn't prepared beforehand, of course, it was impossible to answer it fluently right away, and he also needed a thought process, but this time didn't take a lot, after all, this was something he often encountered when developing various games.

"That's ......," Jester muttered slightly. Then he continued: "This question is very interesting, but if you want to let go, this is a very big problem, and it is completely possible to hold another lecture, but I can say a little, it may not be comprehensive, I hope you will have it." Jester said modestly.

Then, the explanation began.

"Actually, the design of AI is in the whole game design. Why, is it the field that is most closely related to psychology and is also the most popular field of psychological theory? Quite simply, because in our design, the AI represents the player's enemies. ”

"Players in conflict situations in particular project a lot of personal emotions into AI, and there are several philosophies on the issue of AI design, but I think AI is an important factor in creating a holistic game environment for players, especially in single-player games, where AI is a tool for creating a realistic gaming experience. I don't agree with the other view that AI should mimic another player as much as possible and should embody the personality traits of a human player, and there are several factors that make me shy away from it. ”

When Jester said this. Many people have a look of incomprehension on their faces, because with their understanding, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the kind of understanding about AI that Jester said before. At least theoretically, logically, it all works.

"Huh."

Jester smiled. He obviously also saw the incomprehension of many people.

This kind of incomprehension is also very normal, because in the beginning, he also understood AI in this way, but in fact, when designing the game, at least in his feelings, it seems that the game AI is not like this.

However, Jester did not say dead.

"Actually, I don't think this is absolutely wrong, but in my experience, one of the purposes of giving AI access to human personality traits is to surprise players, so AI should be designed to be smart, but there's only a fine line between stupidity and cleverness, and the vast majority of players take it for granted that AI is stupid, so if the AI does make a trick, players will definitely think that the AI is cheating and peek at their layout in the background."

Jester laughed, and many of the audience laughed when he said that.

That's exactly what they've been through.

"Therefore, once the AI table breaks through the convention, it will have a negative impact on the player's psychology, and my idea of designing AI is to provide players with enough solid competition, and at the same time make players feel that they have made progress, players should feel that AI can predict at a certain level, although the playing style is stable, but it is not very smart, and the real tricks are all from the player." Jester continued with a smile.

When Jester finished answering the question, the audience burst into applause.

"Whoever has any questions, can continue to ask."

Jester waved his hand, signaling that there was no need for this, there wasn't much time, so it was better for him to ask as many questions as he could.

Then Jester seemed to remember something again, taking advantage of this, no one had raised his hand yet, Jester added a previous answer about AI by the way: "Actually, another function of AI is to provide feedback when the player talks to other civilization rulers in the game, feedback is very important for single-player games, because these AI can be said to be your only friends in the game, according to our observations, civilization The more the AI character in the game expresses their attitude and reacts to the player's actions, the more the player feels that they are understood, and they are not playing a game, but experiencing a world......"

As he spoke, Jester saw another group of people raise their hands.

So, he called another one, this is a boy, judging from the accent, it should be an English, very authentic London accent.

"My question has something to do with the self-destructive principle you mentioned earlier, I don't know very well, can you elaborate on it more?" The boy with a London accent was quiet and a little shy, but Jester nodded when he heard the question.

"It's normal to ask if you don't understand," he said. ”

From the expressions on many people's faces, Jester could tell that there didn't seem to be a lot of interest in the issue, and he didn't know if it was because the question itself was not attractive, or if he was talking about it relatively boring and had no way to make people interested.

Still, after pondering for a while, Jester began to answer the question.

In other words, it is a supplement to the previous lectures. (To be continued......)
