Seems like a pretty thin line between these conceptions of "understanding". If the AI is programmed to "understand" the rules and ojectives of the game, and it uses that information to assess the best moves for various scenarios, then how does that materially differ from human understanding?
- jibalt 11y agoIt's strange that almost no one commenting on this has the faintest idea how chess programs work. Chess programs score moves by scoring and comparing, recursively, many millions of positions.
- unclebucknasty 11y agoActually, I wrote one as a senior project years ago. It worked exactly that way, with the exception that the number of positions was less, owed to the available computing power. Concept was the same as you describe. No rocket science. I purposely read nothing beforehand, because I wanted to devise an approach and this seemed the most obvious. Of course, nowadays that is not the only technique in use. In any case, I'm not sure why you think it impossible to add any additional analysis to the program as it repeatedly scores millions of positions.
