Good to see human beings are still challenging themselves in chess after AlphaGo
- School-Cotton 3y agoAlphaGo plays go, not chess. Computers have crushed humans at chess for 20+ years.
- ronnykylin 3y agoGood to know, thanks. And yet we are still celebrating human victory in chess. Tears again.
- jpgvm 3y agoIronically engines made the game better IMO.
- ronnykylin 3y agoHopefully engines make the game more fun for humans. >_-
- jpgvm 3y agoI think they have, depends on what level you play at. I'm a lowly 1400-1500 rated player so I'm not using engines to prepare the sorts of crazy lines you see in a WCC but they help me understand when a position has outs/things to play for and/or quickly identify when a winning line was available. i.e I mostly use it for post-game analysis and it's been really good. I don't have the sort of money to pay for 1:1 chess mentorship so engine is the next best thing. I derive my enjoyment in chess from improving, engines help me improve ergo engines make chess more enjoyable for me.
- ronnykylin 3y agoYep, I use ChatGPT the same way. It is the next best thing to a human mentor when I need to quickly grasp a new concept.
- tinza123 3y agoBy that logic 100m dashing should be abondoned after the invention of cars.
- ronnykylin 3y agoThis is a good viewpoint. You actually make me feel relieved. I used to worry about human jobs being taken by AI. Now that I think of it as something like cars, I can see human life will be much more convenient as long as we go through that transition.
