Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

"...Oh my god! The AI ​​is bugged!!!"

"And this is happening in such a crucial match!!!"

"...Brother Zeng! Brother Zeng! Did you see that?!"

"Sister Rui Zhao won the first game! She really beat the AI!!!"

"I initially thought that Sister Rui Zhao was so nervous during this game that her technique was distorted, but it turns out that there was an ambush planned all along!"

"I...I'm starting to wonder if I'm dreaming!!!"

"Hey Ranran! I know you're excited!"
"But don't get excited yet... let me get excited first!!!"
"Viewers who have just started watching our show may find it hard to believe, but it's a fact now—the queen of Go has defeated OMEGA GO in the first game of the highly anticipated best-of-five human-machine Go match in a truly astonishing way!!!"

"Although I couldn't understand Yong Shi Zhaojun's moves from the 7th move onwards: she almost never played a move that could be played on the edge of the board, and at one point she was down by almost 90 points in territory!"
"But looking at it now... it's obvious that the Queen was prepared! She must have found the AI's weakness, which is why she dared to make this move!"

"After that, White built up a huge territory on the entire left side and captured the Black stones in the upper right corner through attack and killing. But the Queen ignored this and focused on hunting down the super dragon in the center and lower right corner!"
"In our view, it was impossible for this large dragon to die at that time! Because the black stones on the top could not make two eyes either, and the two sides would basically form a double life with eyes. The queen, who had not made any purposeful moves, could only suffer a crushing defeat in the end."

"But at that moment, something happened that shocked the whole world!"
"On the 209th move, the Queen's Choice Team attempted to break through the eye."

"Although this move seems like a complete waste of ko threats, it is indeed an absolute first move, and White needs to respond."

"What was completely unexpected was that OMEGA GO did not choose to ward the group, but instead blocked it on the left!"
"This move is absolutely mind-blowing! Because after this move, everyone knows that the outcome has been completely reversed!"
"After Black broke the eye in move 211, White could no longer create any eyes! What were originally two large groups with eyes and double life were directly turned into Black killing a group with eyes but no eyes!"

"If a professional Go player made such a move in a competition, it would be an absolutely outrageous blunder!"

"Although we can't see the winning probability of OMEGA GO in the arena, we can roughly deduce how OMEGA GO will play based on the performance of various commercial Go AIs outside the arena!"
"Because almost all the AIs fell for the trap!"

"Deepbrain has already resigned! But these dogs are still foolishly thinking that White has won big!"
"However, any amateur chess player who has even learned a little bit of chess knows that White has already lost this game!!!"
"No way! The AI ​​is so bad that it can't even recognize this situation?! It seems I overestimated these electronic dogs!"
"Why would we need to trouble the Heavenly Queen? I could do it myself!!!"

……

"...tsk tsk tsk..."

"As expected, China was prepared!"

Meanwhile, in his apartment in Seoul, South Korea, Liu Shixian, who had been holding his breath for an hour, couldn't help but smile as he watched Rui Zhao make a miraculous comeback and Hua Ran and Zeng Guangwen in "Go Xiao Zhao" cheer wildly for their team's performance as the world's number one player.

In his view, China is fortunate to have such a great athlete, so it must give it its full support.

And now it seems that it was indeed true!
Although it is unknown how much effort China spent to find this bug in the AI, it must have been considerable—if it were easy to find, the entire world of chess would not have been using AI for over a decade without anyone discovering such a fatal weakness in artificial intelligence!
That's right...

This method of deliberately inducing the AI ​​to malfunction is quite psychologically stressful to watch!
Thinking of this, the young master of the Liu family couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Despite his good mental fortitude and his ability to guess that China was likely providing Rui Zhao with significant support, the young master of the Liu family watched the first half of the game with trepidation.

After all, although Rui Zhao won the game by trickery in the end, the winning percentage given by the AI ​​in the previous 209 moves was all real.

In this situation, it would be a lie to say that Liu Shixian wasn't worried about his goddess.

But no matter what, even if it's just for a short period of time...

Now it's time for us to appreciate AI's embarrassing state!

Thinking of this, Liu Shixian's lips curled slightly. He skillfully logged into his social media account and posted a tweet in English that was anything but merciless:
See! What did I tell you?

Should DeepBrain start worrying about its market capitalization now?

...

...

"...My God! I reckon this bug alone could cause DeepBrain's market value to plummet!"

"OMEGA GO was completely unaware that his Baron Nashor had died—this was an incredibly amateurish mistake!"

At the same time, in Rui Zhao's preparation room.

Just as Rui Zhao walked out of the chess room amidst thunderous cheers, the chairman of the chess association, who had just replicated a game where he had defeated the AI ​​under Li Jingzhe's guidance, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement!
Actually, when the game had only been going on for about ten moves, Shang Chaotian rushed in to ask Ai Jian'an about the situation—because from the seventh move onwards, Rui Zhao's moves were just too outrageous!
Not only were there no pieces placed on the map, but there was also absolutely no power or aggression!
From the perspective of a chess expert, it was completely chaotic and caused an uproar in the chess world almost immediately!
Even many anti-AI media outlets have started to mock: Rui Zhao is probably under too much pressure from AI and is worried about ruining her reputation, so she has given up on herself!

Even though Shang Chaotian was somewhat prepared, he was still as anxious as an ant on a hot pan when he saw this scene!
But these two young men, Ai Jianan and Li Jingzhe, taught the terrified chess association chairman a good lesson!
Faced with Shang Chaotian's astonishment and skepticism, Ai Jian'an simply pointed calmly at the screen, signaling him to calm down. Li Jingzhe, however, wore a confident, enigmatic smile and directly invited Shang Chaotian to sit at the electronic chessboard, saying he would let him "experience" his research result—a bug that was prevalent in all AIs on the market!

...A bug in the AI?

And it's a fatal bug that the whole world has been using for over ten years without discovering?

Does this thing really exist?!
Shang Chaotian was filled with doubt and a sense of absurdity.

But seeing Li Jingzhe's confident gaze, and remembering that Rui Zhao was already "messing around" in the chess room, he decided to give it a shot, even if it seemed hopeless. The result…

Li Jingzhe is absolutely right!
Under the guidance of Qinghua Zheshen, Shang Chaotian clumsily imitated Rui Zhao's opening "blunder," gradually leading the game into a seemingly hopeless situation that actually harbored deadly danger. When he saw the artificial intelligence software seemingly oblivious to his fatal threat and carelessly give away his entire dragon, Shang Chaotian was completely stunned!
Even he, the chairman of the chess association who hadn't played for many years, actually managed to reproduce this bug and defeat the AI!

That moment was a huge shock that exploded in Shang Chaotian's mind, completely overturning his understanding of artificial intelligence software!
But after the initial surprise and elation, an even stronger question arose before him:

"Xiao Ai! Xiao Li!"

"How did you find such a bug that no one else in the world had discovered?!"

"How could AI make such a basic mistake?!"

Ai Jian'an smiled upon hearing this, gently nudged Li Jingzhe beside her, and praised him in a clear voice:

"Chairman Shang, this bug was discovered by Xiao Li, that's amazing!"

"Let him do it!"

"Ah, actually, it's nothing special."

Seeing Ai Jian'an praising him, Li Jingzhe, who always felt that helping his ideal woman was enough, quickly pulled Rui Zhao into the conversation as well:

"I discovered this bug by looking for some strange outliers when I was searching for blind spots in the AI ​​layout."

"Ultimately, it was thanks to Rui Zhao securing such enormous computing power resources from the nation that I was able to spot the anomalies in the data. This led me to discover the bug and gradually figure out how to reproduce it..."

"Alright, stop being so modest!"

At this moment, Shang Chaotian had no time to waste with Li Jingzhe and immediately continued to press for answers:
"Tell me quickly: what exactly happened?"
"Why can't the AI ​​determine something as simple as life or death?!"

"...Ah! Actually, if I had to explain, the reason is quite simple."

Li Jingzhe shrugged slightly:

"To use a phrase from martial arts novels: the Shaolin skills that AI uses aren't based on any Buddhist techniques..."

"It is the Lesser Formless Skill."

...

...

"...The Lesser Formless Skill?!"

Ten minutes later, in the auditorium of the Ritz-Carlton Jiangdong Hotel, which was also the location for the post-match interviews between the two sides.

The interview with the winner of the first game of the human-machine competition is currently taking place here.

However, when she heard what Yong Shi Zhaojun had just said, Nian Lili, who had been eagerly asking the winner of the first game a question, was clearly stunned.

When the world's number one person just achieved another victory over artificial intelligence after twelve years, Nian Lili was naturally astonished, just like most people, and then extremely excited!
So, as a reporter from a state-run media outlet, and having the first opportunity to ask questions, she naturally asked Rui Zhao AI how it could have made such an outrageous mistake. However, her unexpected response was somewhat difficult to understand.

“…Uh, Rui Zhao…”

Nian Lili couldn't help but continue asking:

"So... you said that AI is practicing the 'Minor Formless Skill'..."

"What does this mean?!"

"Um, this is Li... oh no! It's a metaphor that I think is very apt."

Rui Zhao, who was being interviewed on stage, seemed slightly unnatural in her answers, but her enunciation was firm and clear:
"If you have read the famous Chinese martial arts novel 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils', you should be familiar with the plot of Kumārajīva's rampage at Shaolin Temple."

"When Kumārajīva came to cause trouble, he claimed to have mastered all seventy-two Shaolin skills, which greatly surprised all the Shaolin monks. In the history of Shaolin Temple, mastering twenty-three skills was already the limit, so mastering all seventy-two skills was simply astonishing!"
"But later everyone discovered that Kumārajīva had not actually mastered so many Shaolin skills. He was just pretending to know so many skills by relying on his Lesser Formless Skill."

"Although this is still very impressive, it is not a true Shaolin secret technique. When forced into extreme situations, it will reveal its weakness."

"And the current situation can be said to be exactly the same!"
"Since the birth of Go AI, everyone has said that AI's achievements in Go have far surpassed those of humans, and there has even been a so-called 'human Go is useless' theory!"

"Indeed, I must admit that AI has indeed demonstrated extremely strong capabilities in Go, even holding an absolute dominant position against the vast majority of human players."

"But here's the question—if Go AI really has a Go theory that is many times more advanced than that of humans, then why would it make such a fatal mistake in a game where even amateur players wouldn't make a mistake?!"

"If it can't even determine the simplest 'kill the blind if it has eyes' rule, does the Go theory that AI possesses really far surpass that of humans?!"

"Therefore, I wonder if everyone has thought about this: isn't the absolute power that AI shows us just a kind of seemingly real but actually fake 'small formless skill'?"
"Perhaps, AI..."

"He doesn't understand Go at all." (End of Chapter)
