    Haven’t played the game but I’m guessing based on the little I’ve seen:

    • push rock into water

    • cross rock into room

    • swap “push” for “win”

    • touch rock and win?

    I’m curious if you could give an image like this to an AI that supports image recognition like ChatGPT-4 and ask it to solve it for you.

      This is actually a really interesting question. A modern LLM probably couldn’t do it, but I wonder if something like Alphazero could?

      My guess is that no current AI is capable, as it requires abstract reasoning and precise movement. But maybe in the next 5 years.

        from the image alone, no, because there’s no way to intuit the mechanics of anything

          I don’t think that an LLM could do it. But the mechanics of baba is you should be in the training set, since it’s a relatively well knoun indie game.

            I feel like the amount of data required to train any neural network would be larger than all the levels that currently exist for baba is you

            you’d probably just end up overfitting the hell out of your model

                that would require an LLM then, but also multiple full walkthroughs are explained in text on the internet, so how would you be sure it was figuring stuff out by itself?

                  As I said: I don’t think an LLM could do it (since LLMs can’t reason). Just saying that it wouldn’t have to deduce the mechanics from a single screenshot.

    This is actually interesting, because I remember sokoban being one of those games that are hard for a computer to find a winning solution for, while being quite easy for a human. So they made their own game inspired by sokoban with very simple levels?

      very simple levels

      LOL. Lmao, even. Like the first five levels of Baba Is You are simple. Past that, that game is a mf menace. Most sokoban games won’t give you the opportunity to accidentally zero-sum yourself out of existence or turn every wall tile into a walking controllable copy of the player. BIY requires some extremely out of the box thinking sometimes.
