An essay written by Microsoft Principal Scientist Adrian de Wynter is going viral this week as it attempts to prove Age of Empires II is just as human-like as AI. It’s just as wild a premise as it sounds, and I break down what it means for those who use (and research) AI.

This sounds like a fascinating read! It’s interesting how a game like Age of Empires II can inspire such deep analysis of human attributes. It’s always great to see unexpected connections like this gaining attention.
