Chapter 45: A Legend Ten Thousand Years Ago

Xintianyou learned Go at the age of eight, and he was addicted to it and made rapid progress, climbing to the fifth dan in just half a year.

Seeing that the apprentice who had been cultivated with great difficulty was obsessed with the black and white world, the messenger was not happy, and said unceremoniously:

"No matter how strong you are, you can't beat an opponent. What does it mean to always strive for 'second in the world'? ”

After speaking, he threw out sixty-eight chess games.

The more Xintianyou looked, the more frightened he became.

It was the beginning of the high-tech era, the battle spectrum between the artificial intelligence alpha dog and the top human master.

At that time, a hundred flowers were blooming, theories were emerging one after another, and new fields were constantly being discovered. In just 100 years, human beings have created wealth that far exceeds hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, and has mastered hundreds of millions of times more powerful power. To the ancients, it could be called a god.

He also created a lot of machines to do the work on his own.

As flesh and blood, humans are inferior in strength, speed, combat effectiveness, and resistance to harsh environments......

In short, inferior in all respects.

But only human beings have wisdom and have become masters.

Especially in chess, the gap between machines and humans is obvious. The best software can't do anything to a kid who has just learned chess.

However, one day, Deep Blue, a supercomputer that operates hundreds of millions of times per second, defeated the famous chess king Kasparov.

At the peak, King Ka Tian's eyes were blank and he complained in front of the TV camera.

It's as if you're fighting a ruthless master, not a machine. It occasionally makes low-level mistakes like a human, but its emotions never fluctuate. No joy, no anger, always remain calm. As long as you are bitten by it, it is almost impossible to turn the tables......

It's a breathtaking feeling.

Scientists judge that in the midst of a large number of calculations, a new wisdom of immaturity is born.

Surprise is amazement, and humanity remains optimistic.

What does it mean to be powerful?

Go to the store and spend a dime on a calculator, and you can calculate faster than the best people, and you can never make a mistake. Can a calculator bargain? Will it be predicted that someone who sprinkles dog food today will break up tomorrow?

Moreover, the chess pieces have strict levels and many rules, which is especially suitable for computer programming. Through massive calculations, it is easy to solve the best move.

And the most complex intellectual sport on the planet is not chess, but Go. Its theoretical form reaches three hundred and sixty-one squares, which is much more than the number of atoms in the entire universe......

Relying solely on calculations, two or three steps of deduction can confuse people. For example, there are ten options for one move, and no one can count the next move up to 100 moves and the next move up to 1,000.

In addition to accumulating experience, a master must have a "big picture". That is, a kind of subtle "fuzzy judgment", discarding most of the choices that are thought to be impossible, making a comprehensive sense of the situation, and finding the optimal path to victory.

But the human brain can't calculate the rapidly expanding data, can the computer do it?

The answer is, no!

Even if Deep Blue's computation speed increases by several orders of magnitude, it is impossible to exhaust the subsequent variations implied by each move. After a few dozen steps, the data will swell to the point that it can't even fit in the memory space. Unless, it can feel the changes in the situation like a human being, and see the essence through the appearance.

Hehe, is a machine capable of producing "sensations"?

Can you?

It's a joke!

Twenty years later, artificial intelligence has developed by leaps and bounds. It is possible to perform facial recognition, drive vehicles, manage finances......

has conquered all the intellectual games of human beings, and knocked one master after another into the dust.

Only in addition to Go, he is still holding his position and defending his dignity. The level of the most brilliant game software is only equivalent to a child who has been learning chess for three years.

Suddenly, another day, a little-known robot "Alpha Dog" popped up, and Wuban Chess challenged Lee Sedol, the overlord who had dominated the chess world for ten years.

At first, it didn't attract a lot of attention, and everyone thought it was like a commercial hype.

The dog is left under the iron fist of the Heavenly King, and I am afraid that it will not be able to support fifty steps. The next five rounds are purely a snake to add to the game, but it is just to use the celebrity effect to attract attention.

As for losing, no one thinks about it.

The underground casino opened a handicap of 10 to 10 for the alpha dog, and there were few responders.

No one is stupid, isn't this a meat bun beating a dog without going back? They would rather choose Lee Sedol to win, lose a little bit and earn some pocket money steadily.

The storm has changed dramatically.

No one expected that Li Tianwang would lose the first game.

The defeat was still ugly, and he had no power to fight back, and he didn't last more than 100 steps.

Although he refused to throw in the towel, he fought until there was no chess to go, and the battle line was very long, but it was only a death struggle.

After establishing the victory, the Alpha Dog showed incredible control. Endure and endure, let and give, retreat and retreat, and watch the opponent approach step by step.

It would be a mistake to think that it would give up this game of chess by letting it go.

No matter how much the opponent chases, it is almost infinitely close to victory. By the end of the song, you will definitely lose.

It only cares about winning, not how much it wins. It's a bit like an adult dealing with a pestering bear child, too lazy to bother. Just mess around with you, and you won't be able to turn the sky over anyway.

Public opinion was in an uproar.

Can you imagine playing chess with a bench and losing it?

Good deeds commented, Li Gongzi carelessly lost Jingzhou, let's do it...... The alpha dog still has a little bit of a horizontal drop, and the bad guy can win seven or eight small pot friends......

The conspiracy theorist asserts, well, that the old man was unfortunately right, and there must be something strange about this matter......

Professional chess players were shocked, completely unable to see how a generation of hegemons lost. The disc is obviously dominant in the prelude, why is it tilted unconsciously? They couldn't find the cause of the defeat, so they had to talk about it left and right. Well, the tactical choice was clearly wrong, and the aggressive style that he did best was not displayed......

In the second game, Lee Sedol restrained his contempt, waited for the battle, and carefully considered every step before he fell.

During the race, he ran to the balcony several times to smoke.

The evening breeze hunts, and the remnant sun is like blood.

Under the overhead shot of the long lens, the man looks up at the sky, motionless, and his lonely back looks very small, helpless, and desolate.

Later, people realized that that back heralded the end of an era.

The alpha dog is not slow or sick, and it is ruthless and crushing. No matter how you change, I will not move, and each step will take exactly one and a half minutes.

The result was once again unexpected, with the AI winning in the mid-game.

Li Tianwang went all out, but he just extended the time of defeat by a loss......

In the third game, all eyes were on whether to play chess or not.

Lee Sedol was so stressed that his hands trembled. The sweat on his forehead is like a waterfall, and he can't wipe it clean. The daughter of a few years old came to the scene to cheer for her father, and she was in tears when she saw it.

He is not fighting alone, but on behalf of the decisive battle between humans and machines!

It's a pity that it's useless, and it's still a complete defeat.

The world fell silent.

Some people are aware with fear that a new era has begun. Humanity becomes the weaker side, perhaps cleared out by intelligent life of its own creation......

In the fourth game, Li Tianwang unloaded his burden and relaxed. The small universe explodes, indomitable, and only wants to save a little bit of pitiful dignity for human beings.

This is also the longest number of moves and the most difficult to solve the game.

Lee Sedol has always been at a disadvantage, but he has never been pulled apart, looking for opportunities. In a scuffle, when the alpha dog showed a hideous face and wanted to slaughter the dragon, he meditated hard and played a shocking hand, throwing a white son into the middle of several black seeds.

It seems that Yi Shui Xiao Xiao, white clothes like snow, Jing Ke generously went to Qin!

This step was later hailed as the "hand of God". At that time, no one could have imagined it, not even the alpha dog.

After a short period of chasing and counter-killing, encirclement and breakthrough, the board reversed and the balance of power was restored.

What is surprising is that the defeated alpha dog has been thinking about it for longer and longer and collapsed. Like an angry child, he threw the chess pieces all over the table and killed his big dragon alive.

Humanity finally won a precious game, but it was the last one.

Lee Sedol did not perpetuate the magic.

In five games, Alpha Dog made a number of moves that violated the rules of chess. If you fly to the star position, you will inexplicably abandon your child, and you will rush to the ......

Doesn't it mean that human beings have studied chess for thousands of years, and in front of it is a fart? So, hasn't the splendid civilization of thousands of years become a child playing with mud?

I heard that its chess skills are practiced by fighting left and right on its own, and it does not carry the fireworks of the world......

Therefore, although admitting the power of artificial intelligence, a few people shouted, if it were me, I would take such and such a step, and I would kill the dog and leave it under the horse.

Most people still hope for luck and say stupidly:

"Cut, don't look at Xiao Li Zi's dominance of the chess world for ten years, after all, it has begun to decline, and losing is nothing. is in the sky, it is the genius boy Ke Jie, that is the real number one ...... in the world"

A year later, the Alpha Dog reappeared. A name that makes you angry at the first sight, Mentor!

It swept the top players in the chess world and was unbeaten in 60 games. The tricks are like thunder for nine days, and no one is frightened, but they can't understand it, like the second monk who is confused. There are very few who can survive a hundred moves under its hands, and they celebrate with their crowns. Those who do not measure their strength will be corpses all over the field, and they will die quickly.

In the midst of thousands of calls, a three-way chess decisive battle with Ke Jie, the first person in the world, was ushered in.

The genius boy lost badly, very badly, very miserably......

Moaned in pain:

"When it fought Lee Sedol, it barely looked like a person, only occasionally nervous. When you fight me, you won't be human at all, like a god......"

The old chess saint Nie Weiping commented:

“…… It is impossible for a chess player to face it without being humble or arrogant. If there is a God in Go, the Alpha Dog is. We climbed to the top and only nine dans. As soon as it is born, it has at least twenty ......"

Sixty-eight battles later, the Alpha Dog disappeared.

Since then, the rivers and lakes have only left the legend of "A God".

It wasn't originally designed to play chess, but just a game in the world to try its edge......
