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

Chapter 450 Not even for a moment...

"It's a pity that Jueyi, as a new generation of Go AI, ultimately lost to Yi Zheng, the Go master. However, its performance in the game was outstanding, which makes us look forward to the next four games."

Now, let's hear from Jiang Mobai, 9-dan. After this match, what is your overall evaluation of this artificial intelligence?

The female host then handed the topic to Jiang Mobai, who was standing to the side. At this moment, Jiang Mobai still had a look of relief, having watched the whole game. Now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Artificial intelligence ultimately fell to Yi Zheng, just like all other human Go players, who were unable to overcome Yi Zheng, the Mount Everest of the Go world.

That's wonderful news!
Upon hearing the female host's question, Jiang Mobai first nodded, then shook his head, his tone tinged with emotion: "Judging from this game's performance, the AI's strength has reached the level of top human chess players. But just how strong it is, we need more game samples to judge, since the reference value of one game is limited."

However, in my opinion, since neither I nor Jueyi can win, the difference between us is probably not that great; our strength is probably about the same.

Although I have never summited Mount Everest, neither has Jack Ma. By that calculation, I am equivalent to Jack Ma!

discharge!

Inequalities are so useful, they're a lifesaver!

"This competition was originally scheduled to be a best-of-five series, as is the usual five-game match. However, it is said that Yi Zheng took the initiative to negotiate with the organizers before the competition and proposed that the five games must be played regardless of the outcome."

In our official competitions, we usually use a best-of-five format because if one side is in poor form and suffers five consecutive losses, it will be a huge blow to the player's confidence, and to some extent it may even become a 'stepping stone'.

Therefore, Yi Zheng's suggestion stemmed from both his extreme confidence in his own abilities and his remarkably strong mindset!

However, despite this, Jiang Mobai was actually somewhat looking forward to Yi Zheng defeating the AI ​​in five consecutive losses. Of course, on second thought, he was also a little worried that he might completely break Boss Zhang's mentality.

"As we can see now, the AI ​​team has conceded defeat. This match, lasting nearly four hours, has finally come to an end. The second match will be held tomorrow at the same time. Please stay tuned. Thank you!"

"What a fantastic match! Jueyi, your skill is even greater than I imagined. I'm so happy! I'll probably never forget you for the rest of my life!"

Hearing Old Ke's spirited yet slightly childish remarks, Yi Zheng naturally couldn't just repeat them verbatim, since they sounded rather irritating!
Ke Lao can say whatever he wants because others can't hear or see him, but Yi Zheng is different; to some extent, he represents the Chinese Chess Academy.

We still need to continue negotiating sponsorship with Mr. Zhang!
So Yi Zheng nodded slightly and reviewed the game with Boss Zhang. Although it was a game against artificial intelligence, Boss Zhang could still ask about some changes and discuss the opponent's views through the moves provided by the artificial intelligence and his communication with Yi Zheng.

As for this failure, although it's painful, you can only accept reality. After all, those who do scientific research must be prepared for failure to be the mother of success.

Whether Mr. Zhang could understand what Yi Zheng said during the debriefing is another matter entirely.

The advantage humans have over AI is that they can analyze your thinking and explain the intention behind each move, while AI cannot. It can only show the process of placing the pieces and the final result, and sometimes even the result is hard to explain because its plans may be too long and too deep. You can't understand why it wants to do the changes it gives.

Later, a company did develop an AI that could provide chess-playing strategies, but unfortunately, it was not only incompetent, it also often talked nonsense.

The problem with Yi Zheng is that his thinking is too strong and too profound. For Mr. Zhang, reviewing the situation with him is like a primary school student attending a graduate-level science course – completely baffling. After all, even if you invited a Nobel laureate to teach a graduate-level course, you still wouldn't understand.

So after hearing about the changes, Mr. Zhang nodded repeatedly with "uh-huh" on the surface, but in reality, he didn't understand what Yi Zheng was talking about or what the idea behind artificial intelligence was.

You may not understand it, but you absolutely must not show it! You absolutely must not show any weakness!
After exchanging ideas for a while, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He had been looking forward to a good start, but instead, he was met with a bad one!

But there are still four games left!

At worst, if a perfect record isn't possible, a 3-2 score is acceptable! I'd accept a 2-3 score too! But we can't let it end in a 4-1 defeat, can we?
After this experience, Mr. Zhang began to feel uneasy: Is our artificial intelligence really so vulnerable?

He wasn't concerned about the prize money from the competition; after all, as the owner of a subsidiary of a large technology company, he owned shares in several companies.

The fluctuations in the stock market in a single day could amount to countless matches that could be held to increase or decrease his net worth.

While it doesn't reach the point where I dislike money or have no interest in it, this amount of money is really small change for them.

Therefore, in Mr. Zhang's view, giving the money to Yi Zheng was not a bad thing. Even if the artificial intelligence won completely, it would not matter if he gave all the prize money to Yi Zheng. It could be regarded as compensation for the other party's "ruined career".

But the problem is, what's about to be destroyed is our own artificial intelligence!
"I will do my best in the remaining four games."

Upon hearing Yi Zheng's closing remarks, a strange thought suddenly echoed in Boss Zhang's mind.

"This humiliating defeat for artificial intelligence..."

"First, let's understand the basic concepts of Go..."

"They've lost all sense of shame..."

Don't do that!

Watching Yi Zheng leave the venue, Boss Zhang sat silently at the table. Besides Yi Zheng, what other way could there be to prove the power of artificial intelligence?
You should always prepare for the worst...

What should I do, especially with interviews from the media? I'm so tired of it.

Although Yi Zheng left the room, he didn't rush to the lobby because he already knew how many media outlets would be waiting for him.

"I'm taking credit for your victory today, since I didn't win this match myself. But I'll definitely win tomorrow's match!"

Even before celebrating for Elder Ke, the one who rushed to the battlefield was…
