[iotb]

I have thousands of hours logged playing various Dota variants. I rarely watch as it's not a good way to retain skills or understand what's going on. If you play enough, you should understand exactly what I'm saying. I watch on rare occasions to get exposed to something I haven't thought of or tried but that's about it. Beating an opponent especially a good one is far different that 'breaking a bot'. What I mean by 'breaking the bot' is literally doing things to confuse an unintelligent mathematical algorithm into constant miscalculations and mis-predictions and for bonus points for finding a bug in the way it individually or collectively performs actions/interprets data. It's how their first 1v1 bot is defeated. This doesn't occur to a human being because we have intelligence and aren't just optimization algorithms purring along using game state data.

This is what Strong AI is centered on.
