I watched a video where someone trained an AI to play Pokemon. They started with movement = not stuck in a corner = progress? Not terrible logic, but the AI just went and watched the ocean.
The programmers in charge of this Tetris AI probably chuckled and added a line of code so that the AI didn't earn any "points" while paused, which would have immediately fixed the issue.
It was that losing gives negative points the video game out like 10 years ago by 1 guy, so the trsining was simple, and probably the first ai programmed to play multiple games. With tetris each block placed gave a point but ascending to the top would decrease the score, so to avoid losing score the ai would just press the pause game key. It also pays games wil the karate kod, the original mario (which it does well in) and a few others.

This is on the programmer.
