    Racing games too, especially single player races.

    If conditions are the same every run, it will eventually find the mathematically fastest way. I saw a video about a guy doing it, and after thousands of runs the bot noticed a glitch if the car wasn’t on four wheels allowing it to move insanely fast. Like grinding a rail in Tony Hawk, the bot would immediately do it, and run the entire course on the glitch.

    That’s not human intelligence tho, that’s the same as when a slime mold can design a transportation network as effectively as we can.
