AI Pattern Recognition

How the AI Learns

The AI analyzes your recent move history to identify patterns and tendencies. It then predicts your next move and chooses the counter-move to beat it.

Learning Process:

  1. 1. Tracks your last 5 moves
  2. 2. Identifies most frequent choice
  3. 3. Predicts your next move (70% confidence)
  4. 4. Selects the winning counter-move
  5. 5. Falls back to random if no pattern found

Beating the AI

To consistently beat the AI, you need to be unpredictable and avoid falling into patterns that it can exploit.

Counter-Strategies:

  • • Use a random number generator
  • • Deliberately create false patterns
  • • Change strategies mid-game
  • • Think about what the AI expects
  • • Use external randomness sources
