You are right... I had to learn a lot to eliminate the obviously non-productive routes in my decision matrix. My contention is that those non-productive routes are fewer than the routes AlphaGo encounters within the game of Go. If there were an AlphaHVAC, AlphaMATH, AlphaPlumbing, AlphaStucco, AlphaEMS, AlphaLogic, AlphaMorals etc., etc. we could have modal expert systems we point at whatever we need to know and do. Emergency field medicine is a lot like remodeling a bathroom with mold. Once you discover the problem, you follow algorithms to fix the issues. It was the same with my HVAC system. In emergency field medicine, they even call them algorithms. Then we can combine the expert systems under some kind of unifying command structure... have them "talk" to each other, learn from one another. AlphaGo has shown that complex, difficult, and downright ugly problems can be modeled and yield results better than the lifetime training of a human in the game of Go (at least for now). IMO, Deepmind will mark the transition to the age of Transhumanism.
