Yeah, can confirm. I am not a Go player, and didn't know much about it. But top Go players are really well respected as some of the highest talents in the society, almost like being feared. It is smart people's game, eventually.
And the fact, that, prior to the deep learning revolution, Go is the only board game that human cannot be beaten, add even more myth and charm to the game and players alike.
Now, it comes to the time, that Go can be modeled by computers, and hundred years of human study is topped by computer in less than a year's time. All those myths around it will be gone. That is the biggest bummer I guess.
- gohrt 11y agoHow well would the computer fare if it didn't have access to a library of human-played games, and only got self-study?
- raattgift 11y agoHow well would the computer fare with a slightly different game -- something like go, but with differing rules? Would a smart human learn faster (in real time, or alternatively with comparable energy use) than an artificial reinforced deep learning system? And who can make the most interesting new go-like game? Perhaps this could be tested with chess or checkers, even.
