Re: [Computer-go] copying the human natural processes

i never have, did not, and do not propose biomimicry. indeed, it seems to me that things are moving in the exact opposite direction, for of late, most of my opponents across the internet Go board seem to have adopted AyaBot et al playing styles, and for all i know i am playing against man-machine

Re: [Computer-go] impact of AI on Go ... Where / How do i start ?

Well, I'd argue there is nothing inherently superior about copying the human natural processes, instead of using our intellect to find a way to achieve better results in simpler ways. Humans were also not born with domain over tools, or fire, do you suppose there are two kinds of people, the

Re: [Computer-go] where do I start?

. . Sometimes - maybe always - a good night's sleep helps one see the picture more clearly in the morning. Therefore it is probably a good idea for me to stop writing emails late at night and shoot my mouth off because i shoot myself in the foot in the process. As i did last night. I need to

Re: [Computer-go] impact of AI on Go ... Where / How do i start ?

it rather depends on what you think AI is all about and what you want to achieve. there are two kinds of people in the world: those who are curious, and those who just want to make yet another cloned ticky-tacky mousetrap so they can compete on the Go playing-field because they're no good at
