Is artificial intelligence/machine learning the answer to poor MMA Judging?

[MikeyB]

I say why not. How would you like your robot ring girls to look like?

The ones from the original star trek weren't so bad.

 

[sssleeper]

Well if there's artificial intelligence that implies there will be at least some form of intelligence in judging which would be a nice change.

 

[kneebartotheface]

Do we get robot ring girls too?

Fembots only, cos you know the gonna be pushing the robosexual stuff!

I am sitting here watching the PFL and they mentioned how the AI scored the last bout. That got me thinking. Is Artificial intelligence the answer to poor MMA judging and why hasn’t the UFC not looked into an AI system to score their fights? What are some of your thoughts?

The Ai would see the fighters as inferior to its Bots... fighter be out work stop being so lazy computers already do most of the thinking for you now you want them take your fights

This post is coming off a bit robophobic

What about two Robot AI’s designed by separate developers. Each at its own level of learned fighting techniques fighting to the death?

AI couldn't do worse than Cecil Peoples.

The poor judging is done by the fans. Who complain with their small brains and big opinions. Idiots.

Tough to do because so much of judgjng is based off perception and there’s a nuance to it. Something ai cannot discern.

Counterpoint: Doesn't seem like something human judges can discern either.

It is

But what a wet fart of a night. Makes you miss UFC

It's the answer to poor fighting. If AIs can dominate Carlsen, a next-gen FLW sex doll could probably obliterate Jones.
When you think about it, realistic robots (anatomically speaking) mixed with the huge AI and tech progresses... android fighting might be so fucking fun, and would offer so much possibilities. You could adjust the ELO of the bots and make them fight humans (fuck the first law of robotics), make bot/bot fight ( Google's champ VS Microsoft champ, etc).
They would have the same physical weaknesses/limitations as humans, just fighting skills would be through the roof. Like with chess, you'd see humans studying the bots' way of fighting, maybe discovering effective but extremely uninstinctive styles/moves (within the ruleset).

They'd even bleed and have CTE


I want to live long enough to see fucking pro android fight leagues

There is a bot on Twitter doing this right now: https://twitter.com/mmaaijudge

I think the guy who made it said it's only slightly worse than the real judges.

AI Robotic fighting could be limitless and not limited to only humanoids. 100 years in the future is going to be wild.

When we're advanced enough to have that technology, we probably won't have MMA as a sport.

Here is what Google Bard has to say when presented with the thread title:

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have the potential to be a valuable tool for improving MMA judging. AI can be used to analyze large amounts of data from past fights, identify patterns, and make predictions about future fights. This information can then be used to help judges make more informed decisions.

However, there are some challenges that need to be addressed before AI can be used effectively for MMA judging. One challenge is that MMA is a complex sport with many different variables that can affect the outcome of a fight. AI systems need to be able to account for all of these variables in order to make accurate predictions.

Another challenge is that MMA judging is subjective. There is no single, objective way to score a fight. Different judges may have different opinions about what constitutes a significant strike or takedown. AI systems need to be able to account for this subjectivity in order to make accurate predictions.

Despite these challenges, AI has the potential to be a valuable tool for improving MMA judging. With continued research and development, AI systems could be used to make MMA judging more objective and fair.

Here are some of the potential benefits of using AI/ML for MMA judging:

• Increased accuracy: AI/ML systems can analyze large amounts of data from past fights and identify patterns that human judges may miss. This can help to improve the accuracy of judging decisions.
• Reduced bias: AI/ML systems are not subject to the same biases as human judges. This can help to ensure that fights are judged fairly.
• Increased transparency: AI/ML systems can be used to provide detailed information about how they make decisions. This can help to increase transparency and accountability in MMA judging.

However, there are also some potential drawbacks to using AI/ML for MMA judging:

• Loss of jobs: If AI/ML systems are used to replace human judges, it could lead to job losses in the MMA industry.
• Decreased human involvement: If AI/ML systems are used to make all of the decisions, it could decrease the level of human involvement in MMA.
• Lack of understanding: The public may not understand how AI/ML systems work, which could lead to distrust and suspicion.

Overall, the use of AI/ML for MMA judging has both potential benefits and drawbacks. It is important to weigh these factors carefully before deciding whether or not to use AI/ML in this context.

A rodent would do a better job than Gus D'amato. So yes the AI of a toy robot would be superior to some judges.

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting feedback.
