Implementing these rules can give you a fairly decent opponent and it's interesting to see how quickly people will ascribe "intelligence" to something that is very simple.
Who is actually "ascribing intelligence" to this? Othello has been on $10 LCD games that take double AA batteries.
- iamflimflam1 3y agoPeople see something behaving based on some very simple rules and assume that it is “thinking”.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoThis is just repeating what you said before, but who are these 'people' that you're talking about?
- otteromkram 3y agoMe. I am one of the people mentioned. I haphazardly ascribe intelligence to too many things.
- moffkalast 3y agoWell it's distilled thinking, isn't it? Someone had to come up with the heuristics and then baked it into rigid rules. For the outside observer it's impossible to tell if it's baked or if it's being intelligently decided on the fly.
- Tao3300 3y ago> Double AA So you mean AAAA?
- CyberDildonics 3y agoI actually remember those things taking two AA batteries, so I may have flubbed my way into something that is still technically true.
- JohnFen 3y agoBack in the day, when normal people hadn't been exposed to these things (let alone understand them), there was a strong tendency for people to ascribe intelligence to them. Making that sort of mistake really is a strong human tendency that has to be guarded against.
