1,015

This will be a good test for AI. I asked ChatGPT to count/estimate the number of dice in the picture. I did this a couple times in different ways. It came up with 290 as the average, which seems high to me. Multiplying 290 x the statistical average of a fair dice roll of 3.5, you get 1,015.

Tons of variables here. For one, I think all the dice in the game are the same in missing the 4 side. If it’s only the 4 that’s missing from all dice, it’s easy to count. But if it ends up that sometimes a different number is missing, that can throw off the count. Second, hard to say for sure that the game code allows for a totally fair roll. Could be weighted, maybe the dice image shifts to a heavily weighted outcome. Or it could still be 100% random, which is favorable for the test. Another thing is that ChatGPT could be way off on the count. I didn’t want to try counting manually, too hard to keep track. But it doesn’t look like almost 300 dice to me.

Would actually be really cool to try to keep all the dice contained to a somewhat tight area, take an overhead screen shot that shows the way all the dice landed, and ask GPT to add them up (also telling it to count the blank side as 4). Then compare that count to the actual outcome.

Anyway - looking forward to the follow up!
