Someone built an LLM-powered Slay the Spire bot

This is giving strong &quot;Using TDD to build a Sudoku solver&quot; vibes[1].<p>Let&#x27;s use some hot tools to solve a problem. Sorta solve a problem. Well, AI doesn&#x27;t actually know abstract strategy, so maybe it&#x27;ll work later with a different AI. But it autogenerated some basic logic that only had a few bugs!<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ravimohan.blogspot.com&#x2F;2007&#x2F;04&#x2F;learning-from-sudoku-solvers.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ravimohan.blogspot.com&#x2F;2007&#x2F;04&#x2F;learning-from-sudoku-...</a>

Slay the Spire is my favorite video game of all time. I have 400+ hours on my Switch, 100+ hours on my phone, and 100+ hours on my PC. I&#x27;m obsessed.<p>I think creating an AI for this game is quite difficult, but I&#x27;d love a chat bot to discuss decisions with - especially a bot that could take in the current state.<p>It isn&#x27;t enough to just take in the cards, but you should also take in relics, the counters on the relics, the potions, and what ascension you are at.<p>For example, you may have the cards to kill an enemy now - but it may be more beneficial to wait - either to increment the counter on a relic, or to draw a card that does an effect on a fatal hit.

I don&#x27;t think this will help me conquer A20 as Silent

I don&#x27;t think there is any reason to believe LLM is the best kind of AI to solve a game (unless the game is about natural languages).<p>AlphaGo Zero isn&#x27;t LLM. The Dota bot that beat pro gamers is not LLM.<p>If this is an ad of Amazon Q, I&#x27;m not sure whether it&#x27;s a good one.

Fun. I do like how you can pretty easily create an LLM to do a whole bunch of tasks that it wasn&#x27;t designed to do, so long as you don&#x27;t particularly care about how well it does it.<p>I tried creating a robot driver back when I first started playing around with ChatGPT. I told it the list of commands it could output, like &quot;Turn Left [n] degrees&quot; and &quot;Raise right hand [n] degrees&quot; and &quot;Say [x].&quot; I then gave it instructions and it seemed to work just fine.<p>&quot;All&quot; I would need to do then would be to have a basic robot, program an API to drive it, and add voice-to-text to send commands to ChatGPT, and I would have a pretty basic voice-controlled robot, where the &quot;brains&quot; were coded in five minutes. At least good enough for a demo.

As an aside, what is the current state of &quot;LLMs for NPCs&quot; in video games?<p>I don&#x27;t really game or follow the industry, but I have to imagine both modders and publishers are working furiously to introduce more natural conversational experiences?

Is that game grindy enough to justify a bot?
