I don't want to put a limit on the computer, not at all.
But I do think humans have an edge on computer because at least for now, humans can learn the same skills from less samples (at least in this example: Go)
Of course, if there are many samples, the computer can go through those faster, but if there are no samples already and the computer has to learn example by example as humans do as well, humans may still have an advantage.
Of course, this advantage will diminish as well as AI advances.
- jules 11y agoHow do you count examples? The computer can generate its own examples by playing against itself. So in theory it needs 0 examples. This is not a useful metric at all.
- ragebol 11y agoI would count every played game as an example. What I mean is that I am more impressed by anyone of anything that can do a task (go, golf, chess, learning a foreign language, doing the dishes even) well with just a single example, or e.g. an hour of training. Being able to train in solitude is an advantage indeed. You need two humans to do this, but you also need two AlphaGo-instances as well.
- jules 11y agoAre you going to count all the games that the human played in their head too? What about the learning done in the human brain when sleeping? Do you count that too?
