You can, in fact, learn things from #AI. I asked AI the question "But how can I do this without using an LLM or hardcoding everything myself?" Now I know more than I did before about Finite-state machines. Plus used an LLM to rip an #LLM out of a tool I use.
@fastfinge awesome! State machines power everything from communications protocols to video game systems and NPCs. If you’re getting into this type of theory, definitely learn about truth tables. They’ll magically clean up your state transitions.
@MostlyBlindGamer Yes, my entire afternoon actually got stolen, because I suddenly decided I had to go write an entire mud built around these things, with cool npcs and a world with rules and and and. I think I'm better, now.
