I am the only one who can do it: I think I am really going to become an immortal

The sponsor of the Qiu Ju Cup showed up and asked them to stay and play a few games with the representatives of Future Zhiyu, a company that developed a new Go AI, to collect data.

There is nothing wrong with this request.

The world is big, but the money sponsor is the biggest.

Although Go is an elegant sport, it will be doomed without a sponsor.

So they gladly accepted it.

Li Xuan, the champion of the Qiu Ju Cup, was the first to accept the request and played a game with the representative of Future Intelligent Driving Company before lunch.

Humans are naturally no match for today's AI.

This is true even for a small company like this.

In the quiet and solemn chess room, sunlight shines through the paper windows onto the chessboard, adding a layer of warmth to the Go game.

Li Xuan, the ninth dan, played black chess first, with a determined momentum. Every move he made seemed steady and powerful, as if he was weaving an impenetrable net on the chessboard.

However, the white chess piece, represented by Future Intelligent Driving with a headset on, responded as nimbly as flowing water. Each move seemed ordinary, but in fact it contained a mystery.

As the game progressed, Black gradually felt the subtle changes in the situation. The forces that originally intended to surround White were cleverly resolved by White with a small amount of sacrifice, and instead, flaws began to appear in his own chess shape. Black tried to turn the tide and increase the offensive, but he did not expect that this was exactly what White wanted. The opponent took advantage of Black's impatience and used exquisite techniques to open up new ways on the chessboard, gradually disintegrating Black's defense line.

By the middle of the game, the black chess piece was in a precarious situation. On the chessboard, the white chess pieces were like stars, flexibly shuttling between the gaps between the black chess pieces, while the black chess pieces' sphere of influence seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, scattered and isolated.

Although Black tried to counterattack many times, each time it was resolved by White with precise calculations and far-reaching layouts. Every move was like slowly stabbing a knife into Black's heart.

Finally, when the white chess piece made the decisive move, the whole chess game became clear. The black chess piece's "dragon" was ruthlessly captured, and there was no chance of recovery on the chessboard.

Li Xuan, 9th Dan, decisively admitted defeat.

But after the game was over, when we were ready to shake hands.

The representative of Future Zhiyu actually made a bold statement, saying that no matter how many world champions there were, they would be nothing in front of them.

The representative even directly claimed that the AI ​​they developed used a new algorithm, and that no other AI could compare to them at the moment.

In the afternoon's game, these so-called world champions and Go 9th-dan players were bound to lose even with the strongest Go AI assistance.

Then we went to eat.

Just leave Li Xuan, the ninth dan, there.

Although these chess players were forced to stay for the social event due to the request of their sponsor, the representative of Future Intelligent Driving Company was indeed arrogant and disrespectful.

This made everyone very dissatisfied.

Although everyone knows that this should be one of the hype methods of the Future Intelligent Driving Company, related news should become popular in a few days.

However, this incident still made all the professional chess players who agreed to play against him indignant.

So it was noon time.

In the lounge of the Qiu Ju Cup World Tournament, a bunch of Go 9th-dan players did not move, but all sat there with gloomy faces.

Several people who had a good relationship with Li Xuanjiu were so eager to avenge him that they slammed the table.

However, they were all stopped by Li Xuan, the ninth dan.

Then, everyone started to review the game between Li Xuan and the Future Intelligent Driving Company that morning.

"In today's game, I felt like I wasn't just facing a cold machine," said Li Xuan, 9th Dan. His tone revealed a sense of disbelief. "In previous games against AI, although they were strong, they always had traces to follow. Their strategies tended to be calculated optimally, lacking a sense of human warmth. But the way the white chess pieces moved was simply... weird."

Li Xuan thought for a long time.

I just came up with this comment.

As one of the domestic chess players whose style is most like AI, he feels strange about this style.

Shi Liang, the 9th Dan, nodded in agreement, his eyes flashing with thought: "Indeed, I also noticed it when I was watching the game. It does not simply pursue the maximization of local benefits, but instead pays more attention to the overall harmony and long-term layout. I don't think I have seen this style in any known Go AI."

Shen Lang also picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said slowly: "This new algorithm of Go AI can simulate higher-level strategic thinking while being flexible and adaptable. There must be a lot of technological progress behind it."

Li Xuan Jiudan smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling both emotional and admiring. "Yes, I lost with all my heart. Its decisions at certain key points seemed to predict my next move, but it did not rely entirely on pure predictions. Instead, it guided me to make the reaction it wanted. This is terrifying."

Among the crowd, some were flipping through the chess record that recorded the entire game, exclaiming in amazement from time to time.

Putting aside the arrogance of the Future Intelligent Driving Company trying to step on them to get to the top, this new Go AI does seem to have something.

"Although his AI is indeed very strong."

"But he is too crazy. He needs to be made to suffer."

Xiao Shen narrowed his eyes, somewhat dissatisfied with what the company representative did.

Be strong if you can.

What does it mean to say that everyone is garbage?

Although I vaguely know that your company wants to hype it up directly after the fact, black and red are still red.

But as a character who is used as a stepping stone, it is still very unpleasant.

"This is obviously a hype. I saw someone recording you guys while you were playing chess."

“There has been some minor hype online.”

"If they win all the remaining games today, they will hype it up like they did just now, and the small company will take this opportunity to become famous."

Ke Bao Jiudan analyzed with cold eyes.

This points out a problem that everyone present actually knows.

This guy's tone is so aggressive and crazy today.

It's obviously intentional.

Ke Bao just tried to contact the sponsor who brought this event to them, and their attitude was: You guys just have to be patient this time, I will support the Go community more this year.

As for the original words:

[The main purpose of Future Intelligent Driving Company is not you. Stepping on you professional chess players to become famous is just a by-product. The core purpose is to beat the AI ​​of other companies under the attention of the public and prove that the Go AI they developed is far ahead. ]

[I have discussed this with the leaders of your chess academy, and they all agree that you can be a stepping stone, which can be regarded as supporting the domestic AI industry.]

[Anyway, it’s not shameful to lose to AI in the Go world, so we should be used to it.]

In short.

This is the situation now.

The ministers are about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?

The sponsor agreed, the chess academy agreed, and these professional chess players somehow became stepping stones.

Although the sponsors and the chess academy will definitely provide compensation afterwards to suppress their complaints.

But Ke Bao still felt a little helpless.

"Can we win this afternoon? It feels difficult."

Xiao Shen couldn't help muttering to himself as he watched Li Xuan and many other participating players reviewing and discussing the game.

Humans beat AI? That's too hard.

Moreover, this small company confidently said that it is not afraid of the many AIs available today.

Apparently, it has been tested privately and it can actually beat other Go AIs.

Now all that’s missing is some hype and publicity to realize the profits.

Although it is not as sensational as AlphaGo's first man-machine battle, it can still generate considerable popularity if the hype is successful.

"As for AI... there's nothing we can do about it."

In the crowd, a young chess player sighed softly, with a look of helplessness and unwillingness in his eyes.

His sigh seemed to touch the sensitive string in the hearts of everyone present, making the atmosphere heavy for a moment.

"It's no wonder he got scared before the battle. After all, the competition between humans and AI, especially in a highly complex intellectual field like Go, is nothing new." An old Go player spoke slowly, his words full of vicissitudes. "Since AlphaGo defeated Lee Sedol, we have realized that it is difficult for humans to match those constantly evolving algorithms in terms of computing power and exhaustive analysis purely relying on human power."

He paused, looked around, and continued, "The courage and confidence of that small company that dared to declare war on all Go AIs was definitely not groundless. They must have conducted countless tests and optimizations in secret and found some unique features, so they dared to make such a bold statement."

This made everyone even more silent.

seem……

It can only be a stepping stone.

Being stepped on and hyped to become famous.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the dominance of AI in the Go world has been destined since the emergence of the Go AI AlphaGo.

Even with the most powerful AI currently available, the top players in the world, such as these 9th dan players, will be beaten badly if they are given a two-piece handicap.

Even the best players like Ke Bao, Xiao Shen, and Li Xuan could only fight against the two boys in a 40-60 fight.

You have to know that giving up two pieces means a huge gap.

The AI ​​of Future Zhiyu Company is said to crush any other Go AI on the market, so there is no need to say more about its strength.

It might not be a bad idea to have more of these nine-stage ones.

Even Li Xuan, who had just won the championship, frowned at this moment.

Everyone in the lounge was like this.

Although there was compensation afterwards.

However, those who are able to play Go and reach the ninth dan level all have a sincere love for Go.

if you can.

They don't want to become a stepping stone for the winning AI in the man-machine battle as top human chess players.

Instead, he wanted to kill everything in one fell swoop.

But reality is not a cartoon.

The big devil is invincible. He won't send weak subordinates to give experience, nor will he allow the protagonist time to flash back and explode before he dies.

They can only lose when facing AI.

The outcome of the afternoon seemed predetermined.

Several 9th-dan players who agreed to continue the Go game in the afternoon all looked helpless.

Only Ke Bao Jiudan held his chin and squinted his eyes, looking thoughtful.

in his mind.

Faintly, there was a scene in the 86 version of Journey to the West where the Jade Emperor was knocked under the table by the monkeys who were causing havoc in Heaven.

At that time, the Jade Emperor shouted in panic: Go and invite the Buddha!

The look of helplessness in seeking a way out of the situation is similar to those professional chess players who are unwilling to be stepping stones.

You can bow your head, but you can’t give in!

They also want someone invincible to appear.

Break the situation by force!

and many more……

An invincible person?

"I thought of someone who might be able to do something."

Ke Bao suddenly narrowed his eyes and thought of someone.

His words also made the professional chess players around him brighten up.

hiss……

If there is someone who is not bound to lose, it seems that there is one!

Chapter 228 The main force is tired, I am the substitute

Afternoon of April 26th.

The sun lazily sprinkled in the courtyard of Zhengjia Village, adding a touch of warmth to this ordinary day.

While Chen Yun was immersed in his own telekinetic accompaniment, he couldn't help but sing loudly.
