According to Deepmind, this version of Alpha Go (aka Master) is 3 stones stronger than the version that defeated Lee Sedol. Prior to this match it had a 60-0 record against high professional dans (on faster game settings, but still). Right now it would be something like a 13-dan pro, almost impossible to beat.
The natural occurrence of a human being capable of defeating a bot like this would be very rare, and would take decades to train. In the case of this bot, you just set up a cluster and deploy the same software, to produce as many instances of this bot as you want in less than a day. In this sense, AI has a huge advantage.
Finally, by the time a human being can beat this version of the bot, there is going to be a much stronger version.
- forgot-my-pw 9y agoI would like to see the next game with 1 stone handicap and the 3rd game with 3 stone handicap. But Ke Jie probably will take that as an insult.
- partycoder 9y agoI don't know about that. While it might not be very gratifying to lose to a computer, players often enjoy the opportunity to play stronger players and learn something new. Then, the way to be a professional 9 dan involves a lot of losing and frustration. I don't think he is very thin-skinned in this respect.
