🤖 Training AI: The Fastest Way to Adapt

In this guide, we will explore the process of training AI in the most efficient way possible. We will focus on the practical aspects, skipping the complicated technical details. By following this streamlined approach, you will be able to adapt AI to your race pace quickly and effectively.

Introduction

Training AI can be a complex task, but with the right approach, it can be done efficiently. In this guide, we will walk you through the process step by step, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of each stage.

How AI Training Works

Before we dive into the specifics, let's briefly discuss how AI training actually works. AI training relies on data points, which are extracted from real-world races. By analyzing these data points, AI learns to mimic human behavior and make informed decisions on the track.

Data Points and Tools

To get started with training AI, you will need two data points. These data points come from races that you have completed using different AI levels. It is essential to have a variety of data points to capture the range of AI behaviors accurately.

3.1 The Importance of Data Points

Data points play a crucial role in training AI. The more data points you have, the more accurate AI adaptation will be. However, even with just two data points, you can achieve satisfactory results.

3.2 Selecting the Right Tools

To extract and Extrapolate data points effectively, it is recommended to use the Pixel Jetstream tool. This tool simplifies the process and ensures accurate results. We will discuss how to use this tool in detail later in the guide.

Setting up the Races

Before extracting and extrapolating data, it is important to set up the races correctly. This involves selecting opponents, determining race length, and choosing start positions.

4.1 Choosing the Opponents

The number of opponents you select depends on the class you are racing in. Ideally, you should have all opponents available in the race. However, make sure not to exceed 29 opponents, as this can lead to AI performance issues.

4.2 Race Length and Start Position

For the initial races, it is recommended to set a shorter race length, around 10-11 laps. Starting from the last position ensures that the AI will not interfere with your race and allows for a smoother training process.

Extracting Data Points

Once you have completed the races, it's time to extract the data points from the results. This will help you understand the AI's performance and make the necessary adjustments.

5.1 Understanding Lap Times

Lap times are essential in AI training. Analyzing your own lap times and comparing them to the AI's performance will give you insights into where the AI needs improvement.

5.2 Adjusting Lap Times

Using the Pixel Jetstream tool, you can adjust the lap times to create a bracket of five laps around your personal best. This fine-tunes the AI level and ensures a better match between your race pace and the AI's performance.

Extrapolating the Data

Now that you have the adjusted data points, it's time to extrapolate the data and create an equation that governs the AI's behavior. The Pixel Jetstream tool will assist in this process, providing you with approximate lap times for each AI level.

6.1 Using the Pixel Jetstream Tool

The Pixel Jetstream tool takes the adjusted data points and extrapolates the AI's lap times. It generates a range of lap times for different AI levels, giving you more options to choose from when adapting the AI.

6.2 Fine-tuning the AI Level

Based on the extrapolated data, you can fine-tune the AI level to match your race pace. Experiment with different AI levels and adjust them in increments of five to find the best fit.

Initial Race Experience

After adapting the AI, it's important to be aware of the initial race experience. The first one or two races may feel unfamiliar as the AI tries to find the optimal performance. Pay close attention to route variations and adjust the AI level accordingly.

7.1 Shortening the First Races

To ease the AI's adaptation process, consider shortening the first races. This allows the AI to focus on finding the right pace without the added pressure of a longer race.

7.2 Paying Attention to Route Variations

Different routes can affect the AI's performance differently. Keep an eye on route variations and make adjustments to the AI level if needed. This will ensure a smoother and more consistent training experience.

Conclusion

Training AI is a complex task, but by following this streamlined approach, you can achieve efficient and effective results. Remember to always analyze the data points, fine-tune the AI level, and pay attention to the initial race experience.
