I see so much brittleness in AI such as this. Humans are much less prone to “bugs”. In an evolutionary adversarial environment, the human brain invariably comes out on top.
"Artificial Intelligence Isn’t Just About Intelligence, but Manipulating Humanity: AlphaGo's true accomplishment isn't learning to play Go, but learning to play (and manipulate) us." (https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence-isnt-intelligen...)
, around the last AlphaFoo.
"Imagine a flying saucer lands in Time Square and an alien steps out carrying the game of Go. He walks up the nearest person and says the classic line – “Take me to your best player.” Now, let’s assume that the alien spent years studying how humans play Go, watching replays of every major match.
If that was the situation, it would seem Humanity was being set up for an unfair challenge.
After all, the alien had the opportunity to thoroughly prepare for playing humans, while the humans had no opportunity to prepare for playing aliens. The humans would likely lose. And that’s exactly what happened last month when an “alien intelligence” named AlphaGo played the human Go master, Lee Sedol. The human lost in 4 out of 5 games. But, if we look at the big picture, it wasn’t a fair match."
