There are currently 19 different heroes, each with different abilities and playstyles that you’d come to expect from a MOBA including ranged, healers, tanks, assassins, etc....
Apparently valve doesn't really assign teams to certain projects. People can work on what projects they like and things organically get people behind them if they are looking good or interesting.
This means games that do get completed are often really good and ones that weren't looking good fizzle out.
It's an interesting approach for sure. I think it makes sense rather than steaming ahead with a bad game. On the flip side what could be an interesting product may die out.
It's happened several times to half life 3 apparently.
Honestly I feel people are using them completely wrong.
Their real power is their ability to understand language and context.
Turning natural language input into commands that can be executed by a traditional software system is a huge deal.
Microsoft released an AI powered auto complete text box and it's genius.
Currently you have to type an exact text match in an auto complete box. So if you type cats but the item is called pets you'll get no results. Now the ai can find context based matches in the auto complete list.
This is their real power.
Also they're amazing at generating non factual based things. Stories, poems etc.
Fuzzy matching is a search technique that uses a set of fuzzy rules to compare two strings. The fuzzy rules allow for some degree of similarity, which makes the search process more efficient.
That allows for mis typing etc. it doesn't allow context based searching at all. Cat doesn't fuzz with pet. There is no similarity.
Google's algorithm has pretty much always used AI techniques.
It doesn't have to be a synonym. That's just an example.
Typing diabetes and getting medical services as a result wouldn't be possible with that technique unless you had a database of every disease to search against for all queries.
The point is AI means you don't have to have a giant lookup of linked items as it's trained into it already.
