It would be a bit sad if the fact that there's good AI players discourages future generations from Go, Chess and other games. Weirdly the AI will have destroyed the basis for its own existence, at least in this niche.
- knolax 7y agoThe way that AI is used in chess might hopefully imply otherwise. IIRC most popular chess services like chess.com use AI to help train players.
- mwigdahl 7y agoMultiple online Go servers also use AI review for teaching purposes, in addition to supporting games against AI players of varying strengths.
- skybrian 7y agoGood computer chess opponents have been around for a while and this seems to be help young players (via research and practice) rather than discouraging them?
- s1artibartfast 7y agoIt would be interesting to see if chess is more or less popular now.
- fma 7y agoI think most people will still play Go for fun or some competitive level... But if you're being measured against AI, I don't think you'd find it much fun anymore. As someone else commented, we're not faster than cars. But if you were at one point the fastest entity, and then people keep saying "well, a car is faster than you"...I can understand that he'd feel it diminishes his value and that'd be pretty discouraging. He will play another AI program soon and isn't quitting Go all together, but will find other things to do.

He actually quit the KBA in May 2016 and is now suing the association for the return of his membership fee.'
