I mean yes, that's what reinforcement learning is.

I always thought my software PID controller with 512kb main memory is quite smart. Pure AI in my opinion.

That's quite a lot of memory for a little PID controller, isn't it? But I guess these days, they already only cost pennies, so you wouldn't save much from going for even less memory?

It is a serious PID controller using an intelligent AI ringbuffer. But yeah, 512kb was probably vastly exaggerated... 512 bytes is probably enough :)
