You only have to think a few moves (6 at most) ahead to be an ace player. So at each move, the possibilities are reduced and since most moves are not allowed by the rules, the possible moves are not so great in number.
As I alluded before, playing these games with set rules should be easy peasy for any computer and to call it artificial 'intelligence' is naive.
We keep mentioning that they placed the word “artificial” in front early on, for good reasons. The “AI” pioneers were well aware that it was a “pretend” intelligence to barely-mimic the human brain, but some people it seems think that such systems have the capacity to take over the world… but that of course is total bullshit!
I said from the beginning that those who believe such things are usually those who don’t understand it at all.
I also mentioned that our current (transistor-based) hardware don’t have a chance in the world of competing with the human brain because all they can ever offer is artificial as inputted by humans, and that they have no ability to reason or think… or even the potential.
The Google spokesperson LIED if he said “It taught itself to play chess in 4 hours”. It seems he gave the media what they wanted to hear or perhaps the media twisted his exact words.
I’m positive the programmers HAD to give their software the rules (source code logic) of playing chess and there was no way it could “teach itself” unless they had invented some new breakthrough hardware that we’re not aware of… but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Anyway, fuck this stupid topic… it was started by a total ignoramus; the type who are responsible for spreading all the bullshit about AI, and for whom I have no respect.
I have better things to do than to waste my time with the two goofballs in here who fantasize computer knowledge while having absolutely nothing to show for it!
Over and out...
