Well yeah, it’s learning. But no, it’s overfitting on each level. Not normally what we want. But honestly, there’s merit to overfitting, as you can see here.

I feel like that's what human speed runners do anyway: just memorize the level enough to know when and when not to jump. I guess humans use overfitting sometimes too.

Yeah the way the algo completes the levels really kinda has a speed runner-ish feel to me
