In 1989, Gary Kasparov said that it was "ridiculous!" to suggest a computer would ever beat him at chess.
"Never shall I be beaten by a machine!”
In 1997 he lost to Deep Blue.
- FartyMcFarter 5mo agoYeah, and back then people moved the goal posts too, saying Deep Blue was just "brute-forcing" chess (which isn't even true since it's not a pure minimax search).
- bananaflag 5mo agoDeep Blue was brute forcing chess in the sense that AlphaGo wasn't brute forcing Go.

Both of them contained logic (learned or programmed) to evaluate moves and/or positions. The differences between them are many, but brute force doesn't enter into it in either case.
