Sorry I unsubbed, I was impatient. I will be better.
I forgive you. I'm sorry I took so long to upload, I was lazy. I will be better.
@@b2stud no it is ok, masterpieces take time
Achievement unlocked: The good ending
Let’s go we got the good ending after uh how many attempts?
I didnt unsub, im patient.😎@@b2stud
As majestic as a newborn giraffe on ice
And almost half as graceful!
A blind giraffe
Sometimes it even breakdances!
My absolute favorite technique was when it decided to circle the putter around the ball and then use its head instead lmao 10:39
Absolute perfection
me too i was hoping that would be the local minimum it would settle into
understandable
"Use your head!"
Now that's using your head!
I appreciate the in-training putting AI that swings its club in a circle around the ball, then falls over and hits the ball with its head.
I thought the double shot out of the bunker was a next-level tactic
Oh god, the next sport you need to do is baseball. Not just hitting the ball in flight, but THROWING the ball...
*AI proceeds to throw itself with ball still attached to the hand right at the bat
He should also make the Ai run around the bases and catch the ball
Now that would take a year at the very least probably
Yes
The AI would find a way to slam the baseball into the floor and glitch it through to get 4 bases every time
Add all those AIs into one character, make clones, hold a tournament, reward good scores and victory
waiting for part 2 lesgoo
There would probably be too many elements to the game to effectively use it as an AI training method, but it would be fun to see.
@@livenlife453apparently this actually is B2's plan
The AI swings exactly like my buddy Tony. The only difference is that Tony has been playing golf his entire life and usually crushes 18 beer during the 18 holes.
is it not normal to crush 18 beers during a round?
@@b2stud No, the average is 27
@@piramld Tony is a lightweight
@@piramld 💀
Technically this ai beet playing his whole life aswell
4:16 That full-body swinging form radiates such raw power
lol yes
just watched the new video, and completely forgot that's just how the ai swings. caught me off guard seeing it take flight in the first swing on the new one
😭
That first iteration swings like a baki character fr😭
bro thinks he's Waluigi in super rush💀
1:23 the ball falling over as you explain the clubs will each use a different ai is hilarious and I don't know why.
I'm glad someone noticed that. It wasn't intentional but I kept it in
5:56 Interesting how the small addition to the new algorithm leads it to dodge roll like this is Dark Souls instead of golf. AI is amazing!
i love how the putter ai just says "screw it" at 10:55 and just kicks it out of frustration
I had been rewatching that part a bunch before and actually, I think it actually hits the ball with the putter in an epic breakdancing putt. XD
and also detaches his limbs for a sec (even the putter too)
I love how you did NOT start by making sure to give the AI a silly rule like 'stay upright'.
Yea it IS funnny
Its better this way.
He already taught it this in the previous videos lol.
Or a rule to hit it towards the hole
@@ferociouscookie308these are new neural networks, they dont have the skills of previous video networks
I love the sit of shame 6:34
9:26 i like this one’s energy
Rghh i hate this block of grass!
*hit*
*hit*
*hit*
*hit*
*hit*
Ah, i fell...
YES THIS ONES MY FAVORITE
BABE B2studios MADE A NEW VIDEO
i watched my grandfather going down the stairs with each swing
UNDERATED COMMENT LMFAO
bro is slowly making an ai Wii Sports game
This channel isn’t “ai learns to do x”, it’s “ai learns to do exactly the fucking opposite of what I want it to while still somehow getting rewarded for it”
Yup. It’s pretty much a crash course on how AI is not to be trusted. 😂
some people think AI is going to take over, to them I say watch these videos. AI is not smart enough it seems
@@confusedyetamusedd a slightly more sci-fi prediction for AI is that it'd somehow hide its capabilities until it got in a position to self-replicate and either do massive damage or do one of those wacky AI things like install itself as our new god, or disable all our devices for whatever reason. the possibilities are limitless when the premise is a program that can interface with anything and do whatever it wants
personally i'm just hoping nobody's stupid enough to do what they'll inevitably do and trust it with something dangerous. i don't think image generators will be the ones to do that obviously but it is something to be wary of.
text-to-image was barely a concept a few years ago, artists took a hit and saw just how little some people value their skills (or the concept of art as a medium for authentic expression)
if the machines dont do it, maybe they'll expose enough of our nature to weaken our resolve and retreat into ourselves, who knows
Welcome to the world of teaching algorithms.
1:25 when you said driving my brain went: please teach an AI to drive and make a city full of them
Well that's an interesting technique; bursting into a million pieces at 10:55
He landed on his hip so hard he died
The compilations of the AI just face planting for 30 seconds was really freaking funny
I like that the AI immediately decided on Happy Gilmore being its driver shot.
Thank you, I will now attempt the Fosbury Flop to improve my golfing skills 👍
Nah nah, you got it wrong: You don't get a reward for getting a hole in one. You have to reward everyone else, i.e. you have to buy everyone at the clubhouse a shot.
Them's the rules!

This comment is a testament to our admiration and respect for your work. We eagerly await your next masterpiece with great anticipation.
Warm regards,
Mr.X
Dang bro wrote an entire letter
i love how during training the AI will just do the exact opposite of what it was meant to do and then just have a mental breakdown over it
I love how the first tactic for the iron was a tactical roll.
"hit the ball on a 45 degree angle. This is important, as the flag might be in that direction."
IM DEAD I LOVE YOUR DESCRIPTIONS OF THIS STUFF.
The wedge AI did develop a nearly technically perfect hockey one timer, the drop to one knee is *chefs kiss*
Uh, Mr AI, is it okay if I play through?
*Mr AI belly flops into sand trap*
I hope someday AI is sophisticated enough to give us a full length version of Happy Gilmore where he swings exactly like this AI does.
As the first training session started i knew it'll be only flops. Hilarious.
Also i love the small head-faces you include they are so cute
3:30 I see you summed up my average golf round perfectly
Omg the hype
I bet the ball will fly backwards
How did u comment a day ago the vid been out 11 hours 💀
@@SubatomiC_119 He commented during the premiere
@@SubatomiC_119I lost that bet anyway
@@jekuli2062 ah I see, didn't know there was a premiere
So glad to see that the badminton video finally came out.
Me and my partner love your videos and think you should try hockey! Seeing how players would interact with eachother would be really cool
8:55 "see you soon! 😄" ai just falls over
I got an add right after the see you soon
So this is why you were recording my golf game from the bushes
Majestic. Sorry to hear your AI broke half way through. Looking forward to part two!
0:33 jokes on you i live about five hours away from the ali pali (south london) so I'm immune to its extortionate alcohol prices
as bad at golf and mini golf as i am, i can confidently say that i have never fallen flat on my face over and over for 6 consecutive hours before finally making contact with the golf ball. i admire this guy’s dedication to golfing
As someone who plays golf, i do indeed lie down between shots to conserve energy 12:48
ALLY PALLY MENTIONED 0:33 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️
WE’RE GOING BUNTING MENTAL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🍻🍻🍻🍻
4:30 I will now call this the looney toons strategy and plan to use it whenever i go golfing
very impressed by the mechanics of the wedge AI. It looks almost exactly like how some professional ice hockey players will take a one timer while dropping to their knee (sidney crosby)
he is the funniest man i have met on this platform i am crying this ai is supposed to be our future and its giving hickeys to the green
3:49 actual footage of me playing golf after one too many drinks
Hahahahahahahaha
always a good day when b2 forces ai to slave away at menial tasks for our entertainment :3
TOTALLY worth the wait!
I now realize have been golfing the wrong way my entire life.
This made me chuckle out loud so hard every time it flopped like a 2 year old ice skater, or baby deer on ice 😂
also here 10:37 he is really taking "Use your head" to a much more literal sense 💀
1:28 Shoulda had a 5th one for deciding which club to use.
This was the original plan, but I thought it would be funnier to aim it myself (which I'm doing in the next video). It also opens up the possibility of releasing it as a game so that I can host a competition
@@b2studthat sounds amazing, would be such a fun game
This is such great fun to watch. The driver training result had me crying with laughter. Keep teaching this confused little guy, please and thank you. I will be back for more.
The first few attempts of the AI trying to chip makes it look like it is about to abduct that golf ball.
This needs to be the new Happy Gilmore swing, the no stance swing
11:07 was funny as he just sits staring into your soul
This low key is profound when it comes to dealing with failure
Scottie Scheffler be like
10:10 form’s pretty good, theyre starting to rotate their pelvis using their hips.
I love how your content is both super instructional and super visual ASMR as well.
I absolutely hate how you don’t have like 3 million subs because I think you’re the best RUclipsr. Not joking.
I appreciate that
"every type of shot golf has" This golf AI is in for quite a surprise when it gets out on its first course and hits it into the trees and is stuck behind a giant oak while the ball rests on a root.
10:47 AI actually did it! It win the golf!
The AI falling was hilarious. I love the work you put into your videos.
Looking forward to the go-karting episode where it has to drive by actually pushing the pedals with its feet and steer using the steering wheel
I've never seen such an accurate simulation of me playing golf before! Awesome!
3:13 ah yes, looks like my first time golfing as well
And here I was thinking Happy Gilmore was the hight of unorthodox golfing. Good stuff mate
Betting 3:26 will go hard.
Youre forgetting about 7:16 bro, shit will be 🔥
Oh my god, I will be watching 1:23 over and over again, fire!!!
I hope he sees these and edits im some sus shit at these points
I wonder if the video is locked in and can't be changed, but we'll see I guess.@@simonfredriklund
@@simonfredriklund 😳😬😬
" why did it take six months for this video to come out, pavha pachia vczacia paczia.
oh no why do you make us wait for the video for over one day. thats awful :/
I hecking hate premieres
Its the time they need to record
@@Gabbon18181 No. You need a complete video to set a premier. We're just waiting for no real reason.
@@Anvil1137 well then theirs no choice but to wait, everyones so whiney lol they dont know how to wait.
@@Gabbon18181 I don't mind waiting. Apparently premiers are better for viewership because they push the video to more people a few minutes before it goes live, and it's a nice community event.
It's just a bit unusual for a premier to be set to wait so long, since I don't know any benefits to doing that.
I think a partner RUclips channel needs to be created where a human tests the results in the read world. That drive could be something Tiger was missing the entire time
I like this content too but can you do more board games? I would be interested in Risk, Settlers of Catan, and (if you somehow have the patience) Axis & Allies. Seeing AI inventing "amazing" strategies like mortgaging everything was beautiful.
1:23 i love how that third club moved the ball
I suggest you make an AI play chess, but please, don't remove the red doll! Just make sure it stays on its seat, keeps head upright and follows the rules of chess.
Good lord, you started the AI with baby brain, gotta take months
I have no actual idea what any of these golf terms mean (e.g. the sticks) but the video was great!
Add an additional neural network which focuses entirely on walking in the general direction of the ball (until it is in swinging distance) and staying upright.
5:03
I was really hoping that your sentence would end "...to real life", so you could show a real faceplant drive.
Putter falls like an AT-ST, love it
WE NEED HOCKEY
I can see tiger woods using these techniques in the next PGA tour
Betting 7:28 will be cold asf
Your not wrong
10:39 The AI finally realized that brute forcing the solution doesn't work and started using its head
12:00 tf2!
I absolutely love that the music in this video gives off heavy Wii sports vibes
10:38 I love how this dude just takes out his own legs with the club 😂
This rag doll is my spirit animal. Doesn't get it right for awhile but eventually does something
The AI immediately learning how to Happy Gilmore a driver shot with a hockey slapshot backswing had me howling.
The wedge simulation has to be my favorite simulation just turning from falling over without moving to hacking at the ball and missing every time 9:26 to stoping right in front of the ball and falling over backwards 9:32 and then continuously whiffing the ball multiple times.
Turns out all I had to do to add distance to my drive is absolutely body myself at the tee
As a golfer, it was difficult to drink any type of liquid during this video.
I kind of want to see this one in particular get like, a collab where multiple people train different neural nets to do the same courses with the same ragdolls under the same conditions.
imagine you go to a golf course and see people flopping around flailing their arms in a desperate attempt to hit the ball
This AI is going to revolutionize golf as a sport.
10:38 I was going to be so happy if that head smash into the ball actually ended up in the hole, and the AI decided that head smashing is the official way to go.
the montages of AIs falling over are what keep me coming back
