The Real Optimum

(Related publications: [PUBLink] [PUBLink])

Shortly afterward, the first group of humans is caught and you decide to get them to verify the planning system's results. The three gawky simpletons believe your promise to release them if they help you. After a while, they present you with a plan of five sequential catch_only_one actions, which yields a plan duration of 10 hours, a 5 on the pain scale and 5 performers. This answer worries you as it involves much less pain than the solution found by the planning system employed to minimize your pain. Is human AI technology merely a way of undermining the Orcs' preordained dominance in the fine arts?
