beat 2048
Artificial Intelligence has crushed all human records in 2048. Here's how the AI pulled it off.
By now, we've all heard of the addictive tile-mashing game called 2048. Last week, I picked up 2048 for the first time and -- true to my nature -- I started designing an AI to beat the game for me the following day. It didn't take me long to find out that there's already some pretty good AIs out there, so I picked up the best 2048 AI I could find and fired several instances of it to see what it could do. Much to my surprise, it not only beat 2048… it crushed every human record in 2048 that I could find. Below is a video of the first 20 seconds of the AI hacking away at the game, mashing and merging tiles at superhuman speeds that we only wish we could match.
