      Yeah, most people out there are over-selling what AI can do and keep hyping it up the same way NFT/Crypto was also hyped. But it''s much simpler when you actually understand it. So they are mostly just emotionally invested, rather than technically invested. ^^

      Most of hype and fearmongering were actually caused by influencers, PR businesses, sci-fi writers, and politicians/philosophers who don’t have understanding in programming and computer science, hence why there’s so many hyperbole without basics in it. Their exposure is far more prevalent than an actual person who’s qualified to talk about it. It’s kinda sad reality but it is what it is. I just really hope there’s more qualified UA-camrs or influencers like Chip to talk and settle this trending topic.

    Also in the silver eyes books (specifically the twisted ones) Charlie had a pair of robot heads that’s she says she’s helping them to learn and the heads do look somewhat like the mimic.
    22:28 omg this is exactly what I’ve been thinking, if William was the one to create glitchtrap it would make total sense if he was experimenting on AI at the same time as the Funtime animatronics.

    Another Great video!
    as a big fnaf fan who has read through the books and gone through the games multiple times I have a few notes
    -a large part of the fandom believe that the Mimic from the books and game are infact the same, the Tales stories showing the past of the pizzaplex with the Epilogues even having the Mimic in the underground Pizzeria he is in in RUIN
    -the mind control aspect also appears in the Tales story Tiger Rock where the Mimic takes the form of a digital animatronic Tiger inside an AR/VR game, he ends up infecting the mind of the player very similarly to Glitchtrap
    -Glitchtrap using voice clips of Tape Girl in Help Wanted just like how the Mimic does in RUIN
    -in the Tales story The Storyteller, its said that the Mimic1 program (the program the physical Mimic runs on), was uploaded to the PizzaPlex servers and ended up causing the animatronics to act strange/aggressive
    -in the Tales story GGY, it is heavily hinted that Gregory was mind controlled by Glitchtrap similarly to Vanessa, Gregory even taking up the nickname "Dr.Rabbit" and having murderous tendencies (the story also connects to the arcade cabinets in SecurityBreach, most having high scores by GGY)
    -people also believe that the Mimic is Burntrap, due to them sharing similar endo parts, Burntrap having digital manipulation abilities like Glitchtrap, Glitchtrap being the one to give us the mask in RUIN shown in HW2, Mimic ending up in the same location as Burntrap in the Tales Epilogues, and more
    there's a few more things I could say but the jist of it is that the Mimic from RUIN and Tales seem to be the same thing with the Tales books being within the same world as the games, the Mimic being the primary entity while Glitchtrap, Burntrap, Vanny, GGY, the Glamrocks aggressive behavior, HELPI, and things like that are simply branches of the Mimic's code

      It is important to say that the Tales books and the games being in the same continuity is largely debated, and nothing is known for certain. There are many arguments for them being the same, many arguments for them being parallels, and all we can do is theorize.
      Let's not fight though, it was never that serious❤.

    i have only respect to show for you.

  • @Taro_Yanada
    @Taro_Yanada 9 місяців тому +8

    I love this video! It's truly amazing. But i have my issues.
    First; the Henry-Edwin parallel theory. Yes, it is a theory, but you'll have to jump a lot of inconsistencies. Their deaths are different; David died because of the car, but the car Charlie's death was not directly used for the murder. The context of their deaths are different: David willingly goes outside and dies, while Charlie was forced to. The robots "made for them" have completely different purposes: Security Puppet was made to protect her, but Mimic was made to just entertain David. They are, even if similar, very different, and contradictory as a parallel.
    Second; the Charlie-Mimic theory. No, Charlie was NOT an AI made to mimick Charlie, she was a robot literally given life by Henry. She learned, but not because she was an AI, she learned because she was alive. She had emotions and human-like behaviour, because she was a human (Robot, but still human). She was a replacement for Charlie, the Mimic is not a replacement for David.
    Third; Gregbot/MimicVictim. No, for what we know, Gregory is a human. Tales do not confirm that he's a robot (Just Game Theory says that), they just confirm that he's infected with the Mimic program. And no, Gregory cannot be like the Charliebots, because Henry created the Charliebots, and gave them life through his grief and pain. He loved Charlie and that's why he was able to give life to the Charliebots. And those same books confirm that, Afton cannot do that, as he's an evil monster that can't connect emotionally to anything or anyone. If Gregory is a Mimic robot, he was probably made by Mike, William does not love his kids.
    However, i still liked the video. It's really amazing and explains all the different types of AI very simply, so anyone can understand. I'm very excited for the next video, the "digital conciousness transference" is... whacky, to say the least. And seeing how you explain it would be very interesting.

      For the Charlie-Mimic contradiction you said there, I would argue that Henry probably got several Terabyte of memory or more to make Charliebot, and a very deep learning algorithm for it to be able to express virtual/fake emotions. For why she didn't remember about those, is that because the robot learns from the memory Henry collected from the Ella doll, thus the reason why it acts as if it is Charlie

    23:07 the deaths were Vanny's murders, not accidents caused by the glamrocks. Also, in the burntrap basement, Freddy says he "found himself" and that he is not himself. If he is a mimic, hes still himself, just mimicing Mike. I know its not the canon ending, but the other endings are still there for a reason. Even if theyre from Gregorys imagionation as we see in Ruin, they are still there for a reason. But i do think hes right about how the mimic works.

    Things I think.
    1. I think the future fnaf games could possibly lead us to technological singularity in the game.
    2. Seeing the take off your vanni mask poster in help wanted 2 makes me believe that matpats theory about the cult of glitchtrap could possibly come to fruition, instead of game testers or people playing VR or AR booths it’s fazbear entertainment llc class V technicians who all have their own vanni mask and fazwrenches.
    3. I personally think the og mimic may be able to control or influence all his mimic variants (specially the glamrock endoskeleton, the hello AI, glitchtrap, tiger rock and possibly others), I also think it’s possible that vanni is a mimic instead of a single person that can possess someone through the mask, also I think the book mimic is a glamrock endo with the mimic1 programming while the mimic in ruin is the og one that’s been around since the 80s.

    6:55 if you simplify the steps than yeah this explanation can do it, but for context for people who don't know this ai stuff, the first step is actually you have to tell the ai what is a bread, how does it looks like, figure out how to detect the bread, and so on, so it's REALLYYY complex, to teach the ai how to do things.

    The test-case explanation actually makes perfect sense.
    Since the mimic is obviously pretty old, this could mean that it was an early test of the mimic concept. And, if it was an early concept, whether stolen or not, then it makes sense that William would have been the one to create it.
    This would also give time for the living (or dead, I guess) William to perfect his craft and make new versions of it.
    Love the idea.

    William killing kids to experiment for his sons life... interesting. I've recently been considering the Missing Children Incident to happen before eVAnS death just because he's scared of the animatronics and not the characters. "these are my friends" he says to to the plushies. that then causes henry to make the puppet to protect them and ESPECIALLY Charlie to not get killed, which doesn't work out.
    But honestly, that's not too bad either, enjoyed the video man!

    This isn’t even fnaf anymore This is literally just Terminator but with a bad plot.

    I hate modern fnaf so much I just can’t look at these people in this comment section and see how they even like this or find this great it’s so mid lame and just straight up lazy literally everyone’s a mimic at this point I don’t even think there are any human characters in this game it’s always mimics mimic this mimic that I can’t stand it I can’t take this franchise seriously anymore I wish glitchtrap in burntrap. We’re actually William because the mimic gives me brain rot
    Not calling you a bad UA-camr I think you’re great but I’m just so tired of the whole mimic thing it’s gotten so annoying at this point

      So many franchises have A.I. villains. Get it over it
