In the latest podcast from Bungie, they explore the nuances of artificial intelligence. While out to dinner with my wife last night, I was explaining some of the more interesting comments on the show. I was explaining about the ‘if - then” and she said it will never be like humans until they make mistakes. She gave an example of someone walking up to a door and pushing on it, then looking around and pushing on it again, then pushing on the door next to it. When the door has a sticker on it that says “Pull.”

This got me thinking, maybe she’s right, maybe artificial intelligence will never be human-like until it incorporates artificial ignorance.

AI&I (Artificial Intelligence & Ignorance). I know characters can make several right decisions, but what about wrong decisions. Like running for it when they should have stayed still. What about shooting at their buddies when they come around a corner and get startled? What about forgetting to reload after each battle and running out of ammo in the next battle?

I want to see an enemy run towards me, start shooting and run out of ammo after 2 shots. Then I beat them down while they’re reloading.
