You are missing the point of man vs machine competitions. It's unbalanced on purpose. The aim is to see if an AI with all its unique advantages can best a human with their unique advantages. It is not to create a physical robot that has to mimic the disadvantages of a human.
That's not cheating, it's a agreed upon rules. Making an AI that can beat a human is already very hard. Next you'll add other arbitrary requirements, like limiting the wattage to what the human brain uses...
- andrewclunn 11y agoI'm not missing the point. If you have to modify the game itself to allow the AI to compete, then it's cheating. It would be like self driving cars that required specialised roads.
- toast0 11y agoLet the AI use USB for keyboard and mouse, and hdmi to see; then you don't have to modify the game.
- lukeschlather 11y agoWhat you're suggesting is that an AI can't really drive unless it's operating the car the same way a human does, i.e. with a steering wheel and pedals rather than having a direct digital interface into the car.

- andrewclunn 11y agoNo. I even said what the analogy would be for self driving cars. I'm calling out the BS of the marketing scams for investment dollars that are these contests. Point out that and a bunch of people get butt hurt because they need that investment money.
- ggggtez 11y agoBullshit, a human only has 2 eyes, but a self driving car can see in all directions at once. You are just making up arbitrary rules.
- arcticfox 11y agoI think you're missing the point of man vs machine competitions when we're talking about testing intelligence. Machines are obviously better at everything requiring fast-twitch reflexes and massive data analysis. There's nothing interesting in a competition there. In Starcraft, the fear is that machine-level micro may make it completely pointless. A human could play strategically better and still lose because the physics of moving a mouse are different than the physics of a transistor.
