With the talk of agentic AI, which are generative AI platforms that can control computer software beyond giving text chats, being the future for the AI industry, one of the top agentic AI systems in the world, Anthropic’s Claude, still can’t beat Pokémon on Gameboy Colour.
Anthropic released a thread on X in February admitting that Claude 3.7, its latest model, was not able to play the original Pokémon RPGs on Gameboy to completion for a number of reasons, but also, despite its inability to finish the games made for children, the AI showed chilling human-like processes in attempting to do so.
Claude 3.7 is one of the most advanced agentic AI models out there, with companies like China’s Manus incorporating it into its systems.
But it makes AI sound stupider, so they went with it. Anyway outside gaming circles, a lot of normals still think all video games are for children.
