Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 338 Special
"What's with the pretentious stuff? I was just telling the truth, okay?"

Yi Zheng couldn't help but complain as he looked at the comments online. He really didn't expect that the live stream was still running at that time. Why didn't they turn off the live stream after the review was over?

Yi Zheng never expected that such a trivial matter would become a trending topic. It is said that three out of the five trending topics that night were about this.

Yi Zheng just doesn't understand what netizens are interested in. Isn't there anything else to pay attention to? Even looking at legs would be fine.

Upon hearing this, even Old Ke couldn't hold back: "I have to say, you have indeed learned three-tenths of my essence in terms of showing off."

You may think something is normal, but that doesn't mean others think it's normal. Many people believe that what they were born with is their due.

Just as some people believe that learning isn't something you can memorize by just glancing at something, and running isn't something you can easily break a certain number of seconds in, I used to think that being a professional was a very simple thing, just play a few more games and you're good to go.

Even at 9-dan, it's nothing special. Winning a world championship can directly promote you to the next level. As long as you have some skill and a bit of luck, many people can do it.

As he spoke, Old Ke spread his hands, saying that people tend to think that what they consider simple is also what everyone else should find simple.

Surely no one still thinks it's difficult to achieve a certain rank in Go? Really?
Yi Zheng couldn't help but shake his head, indicating that what Master Ke said was not what he meant: "It's not because I think it's simple, it's because my conditions are too good, so I feel that I should do better."

When Old Ke heard this, he didn't know how to retort: ​​"Young man, you're already abnormal, okay? It's only been less than a year, and you're only accumulating achievements to get closer to being recognized as the world's number one. What more could you want?"

It took me a long time to accumulate experience before I became number one in the world!

After four thousand games, the true name of the hidden dragon was revealed.

In Ke Lao’s view, Yi Zheng had an eight-year gap in his career, and although he had his own assistants, he was able to quickly reach his current level.

All I can say is that Yi Zheng's talent is the most freakish he has ever seen, without exception.

Mr. Ke could only say that he had seen countless geniuses, but they all had to be called geniuses.

However, Mr. Ke also felt that his original experience was lucky enough.

Although they didn't receive any extra benefits, such as preferential resource training from a young age or wildcard participation, they couldn't be like the students next door who could continuously participate in world competitions even if their grades weren't good from a young age.

However, he also received support from many influential people, which gave him opportunities to hone his skills in the league.

When Ke Lao said that his talent was not outstanding, he was comparing him to some freaks, such as a 14-year-old national champion, a 14-year-old world champion who reached the semi-finals of a world competition, and a 16-year-old world champion.

The sudden emergence of a large number of top-tier (T0) freaks in the same period of time has led many to believe that Ke Lao is relatively weak. However, even among a group of freaks, Ke Lao was still a top-tier (T1) genius.

There are just too many geniuses, so it's not that they stand out.

"I feel that I have received a lot of resources, and I should do better."

Yi Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "I originally thought I could have reached a higher position."

"That's already pretty awesome, okay!"

When Ke Lao heard this, he was a little helpless: "You're already number one in the world, what more could you want? My win rate wasn't even as high as yours when I was at my peak, so you're doing pretty well."

Besides, I'm already at a level with several buffs. If you suddenly gave me a physical body, my strength would drop by at least half. That's why I say the physical body is a burden; a weak physical body is better than cyber ascension! I wonder when technology will develop to the point where all the tech points are spent on poaching jobs.

Artificial intelligence is inevitable in the future; being able to defeat it at the beginning will be quite an achievement, and it will be almost impossible later on.

Ke Lao felt that Yi Zheng's current anxiety stemmed from the fact that Ke Lao had told him in advance about the emergence of artificial intelligence in his world, which made him feel an urgent need to improve his own strength.

The emergence of artificial intelligence has indeed been a disruptive force in the Go community. When it first appeared, humans didn't care, but after it was truly integrated into training, it caused a great deal of anxiety for many people.

People often say that Lao Ke's claim that artificial intelligence is boring is like throwing food in the bowl, but in reality, countless professional players before him have said that artificial intelligence has made Go somewhat boring, and they can only follow behind him and keep learning.

As for the rumors that Lao Ke is reaping the benefits of artificial intelligence, it is even more laughable. Not to mention that before the emergence of artificial intelligence, he had already won four world championships in three years, making him the undisputed world number one.

Moreover, when Tencent was training its AI, it found two of China's strongest Go players, Ke Chen and Luo Yonghao, to conduct internal training for the AI ​​and provided them with accounts.

At that time, China's artificial intelligence was only at the amateur level. It was not until the end of 2016 that it reached the professional high-level level. By the end of 2017, it could reliably defeat professional 9-dan players, but it still lost. After winning, it was no surprise who would be the one to open the champagne.

Equating this kind of artificial intelligence with the artificial intelligence that later enabled two pieces to achieve a winning rate of around 10% against a top-tier 9-dan player after learning and evolving is a complete fallacy of misrepresentation.

Not to mention that in early 18, Jueyi signed with the national team, and any member of the national team could use direct training.

Then new rumors emerged that national team members couldn't use artificial intelligence and had to wait in line, and that Lao Ke had a personal account.

Not to mention that this thing is earned through labor, and he's not the only one who owns it.

Furthermore, if even queuing up for national team members isn't enough to utilize their skills, how did Xuan Gong improve his abilities by training with AI-powered special skills from nine to nine every day? Surely he's not a privileged individual either.

Artificial intelligence 18 years later was trained on the open-source paper of AlphaGo. When Lao Ke plays chess on his phone, he still uses StarCraft, not the FineArt account that many people are longing for.

"Don't get caught up in this strange mental struggle. It will only slow down your progress. You've already done a great job. No one can do better than you."

Looking at Yi Zheng, who seemed to be a bit depressed, Old Ke instantly transformed into a caring older brother: "You haven't gotten any resources yet. Everything you've achieved is the result of your own participation in the competitions."

You only have these resources after you've achieved something. These resources are earned through your own hard work and have nothing to do with others, let alone constantly trying to meet other people's expectations.

Just think that you are playing chess for yourself, don't think about what is for others, and be responsible only for yourself for every move you make.

Let go of your burdens, and the future will be bright. You don't need to force yourself to defeat an enemy you can't possibly defeat; you haven't yet witnessed its profound terror.

Old Ke couldn't help but shake his head; Yi Zheng still didn't understand just how powerful artificial intelligence had become.

Yi Zheng simply shook his head: "Don't worry, Elder Ke, I won't let these things affect me."

I just thought that with you here and the knowledge you've given me, I should do better and not just stop here.

Since I'm the special one, I should do the most special thing.
