- taneq 5y agoExactly. In fact you could argue that intuition, ‘arriving at a conclusion without a conscious understanding of your reasoning’, is the only thing a neural net displays.
- dalbasal 5y agoWell played. OP's choice of words is inexact. The engine has a different intuition, not none. Humans will usually explore trades and overlook seemingly "slow" moves that the computer usually finds. What the engine does lacks is what chess players call "theory," hence the need for endgame DBs. Humans can also beat engines with "logic," like the Naka match. That one was extraordinary. A simpler & more typical example is isolating a pawn so that it can't ever be defended, but also can't be attacked immediately. For a human, it's easy to understand this is long term vulnerability even if the pawn survives for 20+ more moves. Anti-computer strategies, ironically, force you to "play the player, not the board."
- Longwelwind 5y agoIsn't an heuristic the exact definition of an intuition (i.e. a way to evaluate a complex situation using simpler rules that woks most of the times)?
- mannykannot 5y agoIntuitions often do not deliver the correct response; many puzzles and paradoxes (not to mention a few philosophical arguments) hang on misleading intuitions. Furthermore, heuristics are rules, while intuitions are not. Sometimes people use their intuition to go against what a heuristic suggests!
