Chat GPT and Wargame AI

[Ricky B]

One item to note in regards to building a strong AI using examples is that it needs to be based on a bit more of a "memory" model of what has happened in prior turns. I have noted over the years that many game publishers brag that the AI they built has no more information than a human player. However, in all the cases I am aware of, they don't build a memory, so there is no modeling of a plan in a wargame, at least, based on what a player has seen since the start of the game.

So out of sight in the current turn means out of mind in deciding on a plan. Having no FOW for the AI helps a bit and of course gives too much information, but even that isn't solution as it isn't going to help as it would for a player remembering that over the past 5 turns the opponent has shifted the 10th Tank Corps for the A axis over to the C axis, so this shift needs to be considered too.

So a training plan would help (a lot!) but it would have to capture a lot more than just the current turn to really determine a plan to follow.
