It is only a mistake to your human biases. AlphaGo literally has no conception of the margin of a win. It doesn't care either way how many points it wins by, as long as the win percentage is maximized.
- awhe 11y agoI think that his point is that it would be interesting to see AlphaGo pushed to its limit and playing a point-maximizing game. Which would be pretty terrifying.
- taneq 11y agoExactly. It's actually a pretty common behaviour for tree-searching game playing algorithms. Unless they're set up to explicitly give weight to faster wins or higher margin wins, they get into an unassailable position and then just kind of dick around. If every move's a win then it doesn't matter which move you make, right?
