Why they wouldn't solve more impactful problems rather than playing games?
- username90 7y agoGames are a lot easier to work with than real problems since they are easy to simulate and evaluate. So using games as a stepping stone to learn how to make AI's do complex things seems reasonable to me.
- linuxftw 7y agoBecause that's all they're capable of doing with it. Games can be easily repeated, have clear outcomes. There's no need for nuanced thinking or actual problem-solving. Just approximate the current scenario against previously successful strategies and pursue that strategy. A real challenge would be to invent a new game, have both a human and an "AI" read the rules for the first time, and then compete in their first game together. Would the "AI" be able to formulate a winning strategy without historical data? If not, then it's not "AI."
- sinuhe69 7y agoThere is no deep learning without massive data. What do you expect? :D
- linuxftw 7y agoI expect less hype and more substance. I don't think computers beating people at video games (or really, any games) is particularly novel at this point, nor do I think it qualifies as "AI".
