I'm not an expert in this, so question... Doesn't crush the AI AlphaZero the software Stockfish? Yes, AlphaZero needs more resources - especially for training.

Doesn't crush the AI AlphaZero the software Stockfish?
Yes, AlphaZero needs more resources - especially for training.
But it learns chess from scratch by self playing - in a few hours, without any data from over 1000 years of humankind chess experience.
Deep Blue was more like Stockfish than AlphaZero.
They called it AI - but its not an AI in the sense of AlphaZero, it was an expert system like Stockfish with special search algorithms. They just needed such a big machine, because this is just like CPU power developed.
So I think the term "Bitter Lesson" is a very good match for chess too.
A modern AI plays 4 hours from level "very stup... beginner" to "better than any human or machine in the world". It doesn't need a bunch of human super experts, that inject the complete human chess knowledge into specialized databases.
This is bitter - isn't it?
