Cool trick :) This is also the current level of so badly named AI (IF/ELSE)

Impossible. The cat doesn't even know if it wants to go outside.

[girst]

well, the NN knows the cat is there, a simple `if` then 'knows' what the cat wants.

nonetheless, nice hack!

Yeah I thought this was a NN that could predict cat's behavior, but it's simply "is the cat there or not" which is pretty trivial by comparison. Even humans don't know if the cat actually wants to go out or just wants the human to open the door for no reason.

There’s always a reason...
