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

AI doesn't understand Go?!
Rui Zhao's words were like a meteorite thrown into the sea, instantly creating a huge wave in the press conference hall!

The air in the auditorium seemed to freeze for a moment, but then a huge murmur of discussion erupted!
Zhaojun, the eternal heroine of China, truly dared to speak her mind!
Even though the Go AI defeated Choi Sung-seok twelve years ago, it has maintained an undefeated record against human players for twelve years, and its playing strength is even constantly evolving!
Faced with such a powerful opponent, almost godlike, the legendary Empress Zhaojun, who had just created a miracle, actually said after her victory that her opponent "didn't understand Go"?!

Ah, this, this, this
Is this the powerful aura of the world's number one player, the greatest Go player of all time, and a candidate for the GOAT in competitive sports?!

The media in the entire auditorium were stunned speechless by this earth-shattering statement! The only sounds in the air were the frantic clicking of camera shutters and the reporters' suppressed gasps of surprise.

Rui Zhao's gaze swept calmly across the restless crowd below the stage, seemingly unconcerned about the huge commotion he had caused, and he continued speaking:
"In today's game, the proverb 'killing the blind with eyes' is a basic chess saying that even a child who has just learned chess knows!"
“If a child who has been learning chess for a month were to play this game, they would know that after I try to break through the eyes on move 209, I must quickly form a group of eyes to ensure that both sides live.”

"But AI can't even see this most basic point. Doesn't that mean it doesn't understand Go?"

Upon hearing this, the reporters in the audience began to discuss the matter even more enthusiastically!

Even judging from the expressions of some media outlets, they seem to be starting to think that what Rui Zhao said makes some sense!
Huaxia Longjie's voice continued:
"I've heard people say before that the mechanism by which AI accomplishes many things is not that it has actually learned and perfected the various theories that humans have summarized in many fields, but rather that it has used the powerful computing power given by current technology to conduct extreme training that is unimaginable to humans, and finally formed a powerful 'muscle memory', and ultimately dominated the world through this 'muscle memory'!"
"Go, like many other fields, is a game that requires a great deal of accumulation! In this way, AI can indeed reach an extremely high level. It's exactly the same as Kumārajīva using the Lesser Formless Skill to drive Shaolin's ultimate techniques!"
"Just as the Shaolin skills driven by the Lesser Formless Skill have loopholes, the method of AI playing chess by relying solely on 'muscle memory' seems extremely powerful, but its foundation is unstable."

"Once it encounters some extremely difficult situations, it will become like today, instantly unable to play chess, due to the lack of reasonable rules and patterns."

"So, after watching today's game, will anyone still say that human Go has no value anymore?!"

Her question wasn't loud, but every word was forceful and resounded throughout the auditorium.

These words instantly ignited a frenzy of discussion throughout the auditorium. Countless flashes went off, capturing this historic moment!
But just then, a sharp and provocative voice suddenly pierced the air:
"Isn't what Rui Zhao, 9th Dan, said a bit too arrogant?!"

The voice came from the front row of the audience. It was from a blond, blue-eyed male reporter in a dark suit—judging from his name tag, he was from the well-known conservative media outlet Fox News.

He stood up, his face bearing undisguised sarcasm, his voice clearly carried throughout the press conference hall through the microphone:

"As everyone knows, every computer program has bugs. You just happened to stumble upon this bug in OMEGA GO! What right do you have to pretend to be an expert?"
"Look at the game you played today. It was a complete mess. Your moves, which were clearly designed to trigger bugs in the AI ​​program, were extremely ugly. This doesn't deserve to be called Go at all!"

"Not only did the recognized greatest Go player in history play such ugly moves, but he also turned around and questioned DeepBrain's cutting-edge technology!"

"Rui Zhao, 9th Dan, don't you feel ashamed?!"

This pointed question immediately drew echoes from some right-wing media reporters in the audience. Applause, whistles, and whispers of approval rang out in certain areas, creating a considerable wave of discussion.

Even some journalists who were initially neutral nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing that Rui Zhao's victory today did indeed have a large element of luck. Using such an "ugly" victory as the basis for questioning AI is hardly a sound argument.

Seeing that his views were being supported, the Fox reporter's face became even more arrogant. He stepped forward, looked directly at Rui Zhao on the stage, and spoke in an increasingly aggressive and provocative tone:

"Fixing such a simple bug as today's is a piece of cake for Deepbrain's technical staff!"
"After the next game is over, I'm afraid you, Rui Zhao 9-dan, won't have the right to make random questions here!"

These words drew even louder applause and whistles from the right-wing media section, as if cheering for the trial. The atmosphere in the entire press conference room instantly became tense and volatile!

Countless gazes were focused on Rui Zhao, filled with a variety of emotions including anticipation, worry, and schadenfreude. Everyone was waiting to see how this chess goddess, who had just created a miracle, would respond to this blatant provocation and humiliation.

But even in the face of this sudden storm, the faint smile on Yong Shi Zhaojun's lips remained unchanged.

Her gaze was calm and composed as she met the aggressive Fox reporter's eyes. She only spoke slowly, her tone carrying a confident ease, as the applause and whistles from the audience gradually subsided:
"Okay, then I'll wait and see!"

"Hopefully, as this reporter suggested, Deepbrain will quickly correct this small mistake!"

"—If they really can do it."

"What did you say?!

"This bug can't be fixed anytime soon?!" 8:00 AM North American time, White House conference room.

Upon hearing the latest response from Kessler, the technical lead for OMEGA GO, during the video conference, Tripp, who was holding an emergency video conference with the Deepbrain team, let out an incredulous roar.

Just an hour earlier, Tripp was still enjoying the brief comfort brought by the conservative media's frenzied attacks on Rui Zhao's "ugly chess style" and "opportunistic tactics"—what the Fox News reporter said at the scene was exactly what he wanted to hear!

Although the result of this game was terrible, there is still a lot of room for criticism that the opponent won by exploiting a bug!
If the AI ​​can continue to deliver miraculous attacks and utterly defeat the opponent in the following games, then our side will be able to completely reverse the current predicament.

However, the news Kessler brought at this moment almost made his eyes pop out of their sockets!

Isn't it said that this is a bug that couldn't be simpler?
"Cannot be fixed in a short time"—isn't that a joke?!

On the other end of the video call, Kessler trembled slightly, taken aback by Tripp's rage. He swallowed hard, his hoarse voice trembling slightly.

"Commander-in-Chief, we really did our best!"
"But the essence of Go AI is a black box formed by massive amounts of deep learning content, and we don't actually know how it works."

"At most, you can only adjust the parameters or implant external plugins; there's no way to directly and accurately modify the underlying logic of the AI!"

"Just like how drawing AI often encounters bugs when handling fingers when drawing figures, we can basically only adjust them with plugins, and we can't fix them completely."

"Then hurry up and design and adjust the plugin!!"

Tripp jabbed his finger into the screen, as if trying to force the command directly into the other person's brain:
"Is it really that difficult to design a plugin specifically to check for this persistent bug?!"

Kessler instinctively shrank back at Tripp's roar, but at this point, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue explaining:
"To be honest, it's really difficult."

"Go is just too complicated, and the amount of calculation involved is just too much!"
"Although designing a plugin to continuously check for this specific dead/alive bug seems simple, it actually consumes a lot of computing power! And the possibility of miscalculation and new bugs will also increase greatly!"
"If we were facing top players like Lei Qi, Liu Shixian, or Lin Ruixin, we might be able to guarantee a win, but if we were facing Rui Zhao, judging from her past performance, we could probably only guarantee a 70% chance of winning at most!"

"What?! Only a 70% win rate?!"

Tripp's eyes widened at the words, his face filled with a sense of absurdity as if his hopes had been shattered.

Tripp, who has already staked everything on the human-machine competition, absolutely cannot accept this win rate!
Today, Rui Zhao's victory over AI has driven the world into a frenzy! Right now, nine out of ten news reports across the entire planet are praising the miraculous feat of the Chinese heroine Zhaojun in defeating AI.

He could also attack Rui Zhao for his "ugly playing style" and "only thinking about opportunism," portraying the victory as "lucky" and "cheating." But what would it mean if he lost another game in a relatively normal match?
This means that the myth of "Go AI being invincible against humans" has been completely shattered!

This means that the narrative of "human Go is useless" has completely collapsed!
This also means that Tripp's political gamble has completely failed!
A sense of utter despair, as if he had been driven to the brink of despair, instantly enveloped Tripp—he dared not think any further.

He took a sudden step forward and roared furiously:

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Something that even a child of a few years old can quickly learn! How can you, a world-class technology team, be helpless?!"
"What are you all doing?!"

"But, Commander-in-Chief, there's really no way around it."

"Compared to humans, artificial intelligence is still far too stupid."

Seeing Tripp's almost out-of-control rage, Kessler, though pale-faced, could only honestly explain on the other end of the video call:
"Actually, from a professional's perspective, what Rui Zhao said in today's post-match interview was absolutely right."

"Although AI seems to do well in many aspects, it is essentially the result of a huge amount of training in the world of data. AI is still a very stupid thing!"
"It does seem to output very good documents, beautiful paintings, and accurate code most of the time, but if you use it more, you'll find that it will always make inexplicable and basic errors in all sorts of strange places! And each of these seemingly very basic errors takes a lot of effort to correct!"
"Artificial intelligence can indeed produce some seemingly good outputs most of the time, but in the end, it is the result of hard work making up for shortcomings."

"In reality, AI doesn't understand writing, painting, or programming."

"And indeed, I don't understand Go." (End of Chapter)
