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 RU-vidrs 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.
I feel like even as far back as fnaf 1 or 2 you could argue that mimics were present. “They think you’re a bare endoskeleton so they try to forcefully stuff you into a Freddy suit”
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❤.
@@nessie7306 I agree it is still debated however the books should be mentioned more when talking about the Mimic, as the only actual info we have about it comes from the books not to mention there's more connecting the Mimic to the books rather than to William or Henry
ok, honestly i thought this video would be another "mimic explained" that i see in other channels, but I'm glad I'm wrong. not only it's a very informative video, but you made the impossible to me: explain a lot of modern theories easily at the same time, AND put them together in a coherent and narratively satisfying way. i have only respect to show for you.
poor guy, I remember watching your springlock video and its just gone down the bonnie hole from there. But I will be very honest, currently your fnaf theories, really no matter if story lore or adventure book, are *the* best.
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
You did such a great job explaining machine learning terms in a way that's understandable to people who know nothing about the topic! I kept expecting you to leave out a crucial part or use dodgy analogies for the sake of simplicity, but you never did! Clap and a half from me 👏🙌
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.
i still prefer the interpretation that Gregory isn't a robot but just being puppeted by the mimic like Vanessa was, but there's some weight to the thematic concept of this reassembled mockery of William's family all being different types of entity and your variant of robo-greg is the most palatable so far
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.
@@TheChiptide After HW2 I did a lot of analysis about what was going on, there was one thing that bugged me a lot of time, but I could not accept it because it was too far absurd, but each game is close to it there are two houses, the fnaf 4 minigame house is from Henry, and the house in the hills is from William, the empty girl room we see in fnaf 4 minigame is Charlie Room, where the crying child lives going between two different houses Crying Child isn't a real kid, but a mimic robot kid made to recreate the first son of William who died during Fallfest during the period 1970-1983 the mimic crying child is being haunted by the ghost of himself, he is Shadow Bonnie or Shadow Freddy its the same thing happening in story tales of pizzaplex "alone together"
19:28 "But isn't the whole point of machine learning algorithms is that they learn from their mistakes?" That reminds me of Lonely Freddy, where there are toys that swap with bad kids, learning the bad behaviors to correct themselves as they take over the stolen children's lives.
I loved this theory and the comparisons between supervised and unsupervised learning in ai. It also makes me wonder who was in charge of the glam rocks or Nexis development.
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. What steps he describes just multiply it by like 10 at least than you get about how many steps does it actually take.
True, I did gloss over that part, actually getting the algorithm set up and ready to learn is way more complicated than anything my dumb engineering brain could understand!
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!
Do the AI programs need a reference to work from when mimicking a person? If so, when or how do the mimic animatronics get exposure to Crying Child and Michael? From closed circuit video footage?
Here's my head canonical example: When the Mimic1 program was scanned into Help Wanted, it was given the SparkNotes of Fazbear Ent's history. It probably got attached to William's involvement, which shaped it into Glitchtrap
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.
This is a REALLY good video. You've brought up a lot of things I haven't thought about before and it makes a lot of sense. Also your explanation of AI is one of the best I've seen.
15:57 Where was it confirmed in the books that Gregory's a robot? I was under the impression that the only thing confirmed was that he was once working for Glitchtrap like Vanessa was.
@@hazakurasuyama9016 yes it can because how would it be able to come up with the plan It used in help wanted VR without thinking for itself because such a plan for an AI requires it thinking for itself at Some point similar to how the physical mimic did it when it came to it luring Cassie because the mimic was thinking for itself right there because it wanted to escape just like with VR but with the addition of also killing her
@@hazakurasuyama9016 unless it’s been developing it’s already complex AI overtime even further all by itself just by learning things from its surroundings and such whether it was the actual endoskeleton itself or just some subroutine of the AI like glitchtrap and tigerrock H.E.L.P.I Vanny The video game Monty from The Monty within B7 and GGY because those sides of those people and those separate entities are nothing more than the mimic AI doing its thing And with the physical body of the mimic, it’s got brute strength, obviously, but it’s also a master of disguise And like I’ve been telling you now high intelligence It’s even got Manipulation Hive mind leadership Not to mention controlling electricity And for some other abilities of its digital forms Like I said, before mind control Possession, virtual Teleportation Virtual warping cerebrokinesis Nightmare inducement Insanity inducement body swapping Self sustenance and virus psychology and some hobbies of its weather, formerly or programmed in or not that being playing with david killing people in horrifically brutal and violent ways and wearing costumes and even terrorizing and stalking its victims and obviously mimicking anyone
@@shadowgamer-vq8fc well it’s unrealistic, ai in real life can’t do all that and that’s all it is, just an ai, it doesn’t have sentience or emotions literally all it does it follow it’s programming, it fails the basic task of its job as a villain: being evil
No. I disagree. The fazbear frights books were littered with themes of animatronic body swaps because it was teasing vanny. The pizzaplex ones were made to tease the mimic, I believe.
although glamrock freddy could be a mimic trained off of Mike afton, that doesnt explain why the others arent. Gregory even statew, right outside the daycare that Freddy is different than the other glamrocks.
My thought is that they’re simply all trained off of different people. If all of the glamrocks were using the same exact code with the same training, they’d all have the same personality. The fact that they’re all so distinct shows that they are all based on different people, or perhaps a combination of people. Wether or not Fazbear knew that Mike was special when they trained Freddy off of him, I’m not sure
Im definitely ready with another phase or a soft reboot. I think theyre going to focus on the main 4, maybe 3 for the next game. Im just so bored of the mimic 😢 it has no motivation. Whatever happened to Method, Motive, Opportunity
@@user-nm1lx8qb3u in cop shows thats the run down. Method- how was it done Motive- why was it done Opportunity- When was it done Fnaf uses a very flexible timeline compared to most “mystery” franchises. But it is definitely more satisfying when they do confirm a WHEN
Well like if a person is playing lets say fortnite and they sees a person out of the corner of their eye they might not fully register. It and keep moving but if its an ai even it only sees a little bit its like oh I saw player I kill player 9:10
GGY did not confirm Gregbot. GGY actively goes against Gregbot because he's shown to go to school and do all of the normal shit a 10 year old does. He acts weird because he's possessed by The Mimic. Who *is* a robot. That's the point.
I think the mimic first appeared in Sister Location using the player to escape, it’s not Enard but rather the code you download beforehand From there I think that Afton got ahold of this and twisted it into his personal tool… a Darth Vader to his Palpatine After his death the mimic was likely programmed to help bring him back any way possible and to continue his work of technological occult style research into manipulating souls and cheating death
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 RU-vidr I think you’re great but I’m just so tired of the whole mimic thing it’s gotten so annoying at this point
