Chapter 1401: Go is dead, I surrender - The modern god of Go
"But since he has joined the chat group, Fujiwara Sawa should not disappear like in the memory copy because of completing his obsession."

Su Yunqing sighed, then uploaded a copy of Fujiwara Sawa's memory to the chat group.

"Ding, the group leader uploaded a copy of the memory."

Ordinary group owner: "The memory copy has been uploaded, those who are interested can take a look."

An ordinary group leader: "@藤原佐為, rather than helping Shindo Hikaru to realize the divine move, you, who have been wandering in the world for a thousand years as a soul because of your love for Go, should actually be the one to realize the divine move, right?"

Ordinary group leader: "And in the future, human Go is already dead to some extent."

Ordinary group leader: "If the God's Hand really exists, and humans can guarantee that every move they make is a God's Hand, forget it. In the end, it's all a competition of computing power."

Ordinary group leader: "Even if we can really win, it is only after we have strengthened ourselves and our computing power can match or even surpass it."

Su Yunqing doesn't know much about Go, and "Go is dead" was the view she put forward before she traveled through time because of the emergence of AlphaGo, although in fact the skills of most Go players have become higher because of the emergence of AlphaGo and other AI.

But will humans, or ordinary people, really one day have someone whose chess skills surpass those of AI?
It always feels like an unlikely thing, unless his computing power is enhanced to a level beyond that of ordinary people, but in that case, it seems to become a competition between computing power and computing power, one AI and a humanoid AI.

Fujiwara Sawa: "Is Go dead?"

Fujiwara Sawa: "How is this possible?"

After Su Yunqing uploaded the memory copy, Fujiwara Sawa did not look at his future destiny immediately, but stared at her words "Go is dead" with an incredible expression on his face.

He didn't understand what Su Yunqing meant by "Go is dead", but there were only two possibilities for people in later generations to say such a thing.

One possibility is that later generations pushed Go to its limit, and all the creativity and ideas were developed and recorded in books, and playing Go became a boring thing for them.

Another possibility is that people in later generations have lost interest in Go, and the number of people who love Go has become fewer and fewer, or even almost non-existent, so the concept of Go being dead has been proposed.

But in his eyes, both possibilities were unlikely to happen.

You should know that Go consists of 181 black pieces and 180 white pieces, and the board consists of 19 intersections formed by 361 vertical and horizontal lines. During the game of Go, each intersection may have three situations: playing a black piece, playing a white piece, or leaving it empty.

Therefore, the number of Go game variations is as vast as the stars in the sky. Even if there really is an end, it must be in the extremely long future.

As for the latter, if future generations of human beings really have no interest in Go anymore, why would "he" appear? Or why would "Hikaru no Go" appear?
Therefore, what the group leader said, "Go is dead" must be a new reason that his way of thinking cannot think of. But what kind of reason can make people in later generations say "Go is dead"?
It is unimaginable and simply cannot be imagined.

For anyone who loves Go, they cannot accept such a thing happening.

Ordinary group owner: "Because of the emergence of AI."

Ordinary group owner: "To be precise, it started with AlphaGo."

An ordinary group owner: "In 2015, a computer program named A emerged and was a huge success. In just 25 months, A defeated the top Go players in China, Japan, and Korea, constantly challenging human cognition of Go. It was eye-opening and amazing."

An ordinary group leader: "After experiencing disbelief, shock, and awe, human players finally turned to it and worshipped it as their teacher, worshipping it as the god of Go."

Ordinary group owner: "This A stands for AlphaGo."

Ordinary group owner: "In fact, to some extent, its emergence is a good thing for Go, because human computing power is simply not comparable to AI. AlphaGo has discovered many new chess patterns and strategies in its games against itself and human players."

Ordinary group owner: "Because it is an online AI, you can completely learn by yourself and improve your Go level by playing against it."

An ordinary group leader: "But because of its appearance, more and more Go players began to memorize AI chess records and gave up their own styles and paths. Go began to become boring, and the game between two people was more like answering each other."

Su Yunqing still remembers that in his previous life, the strongest chess player in China, who was also the strongest chess player in the world, won 0 games in a row after losing 3-22 to AlphaGo, and was the only one in the world. But at the same time, in order to win, the top chess players began to memorize the AI ​​chess records and gave up their own style and chess path.

It was also from then on that the strongest chess player lost his resolve and no longer had the same high spirits as before.

[In the first fifty moves, I saw the shadows of countless sages over thousands of years in its chess. I was not afraid, because I was not inferior to the sages of the past. In the first eighty moves, I saw the superb chess skills of my former opponents. I was not afraid either, because I beat them. I calmly made one move after another, and it seemed that AI was not so invincible.]

[Until the 120th move, I began to get scared. If there was anyone I couldn't defeat, it would be myself, the world's number one. My moves became slower and slower, but Alpha didn't seem to need to think much. I heard the sound of electricity passing through its CPU, rushing in with the voices of countless sages over thousands of years, repeating clearly an irrefutable statement:]

【Go is dead, I surrender. 】

Su Yunqing didn't know who said these words, but she felt that perhaps he was really thinking these words on the night when the chess player fought AlphaGo.

However, just as no one would blame a weightlifting champion for not being as strong as an excavator, no one in the future would think it is shameful for humans to lose to AlphaGo, an AI.

But for him at that time, he must have felt a little lost and regretful.

At the peak of his career, he was full of confidence as the strongest chess player in the world and fought against AI, but he lost 0-3. Because of his defeat, AI became truly invincible to human chess players, and more and more chess players began to memorize AI chess records.

If he wins, will anything change?

AI is not invincible. They can still win by sticking to their own style and strategy, rather than giving up everything and choosing AI.
No, even if it wins this time, it will definitely lose next time. The speed of AI advancement is much faster than that of humans.

Unless he can keep winning.

Ordinary group owner: "This is roughly what happened. It depends on your personal understanding."

Ordinary group leader: "Even if you are learning AI and memorizing chess manuals, not everyone can do it."

Ordinary group leader: "In the AI ​​era, the magic move cannot be said to be useless, but it is not very useful. Each magic move is at most 50-50 with AI. In fact, as AI evolves, each of its magic moves will only be more magical than yours."

Ordinary group leader: "My world in my previous life was like this, and your world is like this too."

Ordinary group owner: "The only difference is that the human chess player in my world lost, but your world hasn't even started yet."

Ordinary group owner: "And because you joined the chat group, you have the ability to beat the AI ​​and even keep winning."

An ordinary group leader: "Just because of this point, the direction of Go in your world will be different from that in my previous life."

Fujiwara Sawa had joined the chat group after all. Although he was in the form of a soul, it was not difficult for them to resurrect a soul.

By then, as long as he strengthens his body, his thinking and calculation abilities will instantly leap forward. Not to mention the first and second generation AlphaGo, even the third generation AlphaGo, which is no longer a human being, would probably not be his opponent.

It can be said that Fujiwara Sawa, who joined the chat group, already has the ability to lead the direction of Go in his world, and he will also become the strongest Go player in his world.

Umaru-chan: "In the future, AI will actually defeat humans in the field of Go, and so quickly."

Umaru-chan: "I thought that at least a game like Go, which has such a large variety of games, would not be conquered by AI in a short time."

Komari just checked the information on the Internet and found that there is AI in her world as well, and it defeated a chess master in chess more than 20 years ago.

However, there is no AI in the field of Go that can defeat the world's top players, let alone top players, even amateur players.

The discussion on Go on the Internet has always been an area that AI cannot touch, unless there is a true artificial intelligence with the ability to think for itself.

But I didn't expect him to appear so soon in the future, and he defeated the strongest chess player in the world with an absolute crushing manner.

Although the group leader's world is different from hers, their general trends are the same, with only a difference of about ten years.

In other words, in ten years at most, her world will have an AI like AlphaGo in the group leader's previous life.

The richest man in the lighthouse: "It's normal. Any technology is the crystallization of human wisdom and the result of the efforts of several, hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of people."

The richest man in the lighthouse: "One day, humans will be surpassed by the technology they create in all fields. This is inevitable."

The richest man in the lighthouse: "If the power of technology cannot surpass human power, there is no need for humans to develop them."

Tony didn't feel anything about this, and even thought it was a natural development trajectory.

You should know that the birth of every technology is the crystallization of human wisdom, and AI, as a shining pearl in the field of science and technology, is a product of the combined efforts and wisdom of everyone.

It is only natural that humans are surpassed by the technology they have created in certain specific areas.

Just as humans cannot race with sports cars or compete with cranes in strength, the advancement of technology is precisely to enable humans to explore further and achieve more.

This is not only a victory for science and technology, but also a victory for human wisdom and spirit of exploration. The focus is not on whether humans are surpassed by AI, but on how to control the development of AI so that it can better serve humans, whether it is Go or other things.

Ordinary group owner: “That’s what I said, but whether I can accept it is another matter.”

Ordinary group owner: "But there is nothing we can do if we don't accept it. This is the direction of technological development and it is something that is bound to happen."

Ordinary group leader: "If humans develop genetic enhancement drugs in the future, or technology that can develop the brain, the situation should be reversed a little."

Ordinary group leader: "But now that we can develop genetic enhancement drugs and develop the brain, the development of artificial intelligence will only become more outrageous."

An ordinary group leader: "This is the invincibility of the Go world under the technological system."

There is Go in the world of martial arts, cultivation, and fantasy, but none of them has a "monster" like the one in the world of science and technology that is invincible in the Go world of the same generation.

This is truly invincible among peers. As human technology develops, it becomes stronger rapidly. No matter how humans themselves become stronger, they will never be able to defeat it.

Since humans can be enhanced, the enhancement of AI will only be even more outrageous.

Angel Yan's world is obviously a technological world, but it follows the divine system and is accustomed to distinguishing civilizations by personal force. But even though the development of their world is so distorted, there are still things like celestial computers, which shows how indispensable they are.

Fujiwara Sawa: "Defeat AI by strengthening ourselves and obtaining computing power comparable to AI"

Fujiwara Sawa: "I can probably understand what the group leader meant."

Fujiwara Sawa: "But I want to try."

Fujiwara Sawa: "Every step is a divine move. Technology is truly an incredible thing."

Fujiwara Sawa: "I have been pursuing the divine hand for a thousand years, but it is just the most common step in the technology created by human wisdom."

Although Fujiwara Sawa didn't understand AI and didn't understand what AlphaGo was that Su Yunqing was talking about, he could understand what Su Yunqing meant.

In Su Yunqing's words, the only way for humans to defeat AI is to strengthen themselves and gain computing power comparable to that of AI. Otherwise, no matter how good humans' chess skills are, they will never be able to defeat AI.

He did not doubt this, but only marveled at the incredible wisdom of mankind; the divine hand that he had been pursuing for thousands of years was, for later generations of human beings, just an ordinary step in the technology they created.

I'm so envious, I'm so envious that people in the future can play against such an incredible "chess player", whose every move is a god's move. He can't imagine how happy he would be playing against such a "chess player". I'm afraid he can't stop smiling.
