Two articles by Gary Kasparov spring to mind, the first [0] written in 1996 after his victory over Deep Blue:
> If the computer makes the same move that I would make for completely different reasons, has it made an "intelligent" move? Is the intelligence of an action dependent on who (or what) takes it?
> This is a philosophical question I did not have time to answer.
...and the second written in 1997 after his loss to Deep Blue, entitled "IBM Owes Mankind a Rematch" [1]:
> I think this moment could mark a revolution in computer science that could earn IBM and the Deep Blue team a Nobel Prize.

- smeagull 4y agoI think this is a general principle that has been accessible since AI began. Having poor and extremely basic rules of thumb can be unreasonably effective. They might fall down in complicated circumstances, but having a "driving AI" that is just cruise control, solves so many cases of that problem. Degenerate solutions to problems can often solve many cases.
