Notes | Alphago, so what is innovative thinking?

In the first class, the teacher mentioned: "Innovative thinking is to connect two seemingly unrelated points."

After a semester of baptism, I also began to get to know some things that I had no interest in, experience different life, fun, etc...

In the documentary Alphago, a media critic said: "If human beings can use artificial intelligence well, they will be able to break through the limitations of human beings, pursue the "authenticity" and "truth" behind everything, or break through this limit ”

Some people say: "Go is the game that is closest to the essence of the universe invented by human beings. There are nineteen vertical and horizontal paths, and the changes contained in it are equivalent to the sum of the number of atoms in the universe. In other words, the god of Go is also equivalent to the god of the universe.

The chessboard is too big and too complicated. Standing in the center of the chessboard, with limited intelligence, is like a person standing alone in the center of the universe facing the boundless confusion and loneliness. "

If we use Go as a metaphor for innovative thinking, maybe what we are pursuing is the two-step god of Alphago and Lee Sedol!

Li Shishi's move is only made by human beings with a 1 in 10,000 chance, but it is indeed that move that seems to overturn the entire game of chess. As mentioned at the beginning, if humans can use artificial intelligence well, then to break through the limitations of human beings.

I once heard a saying that Luo Xihe, who defeated Shi Buddha and Li Changhao, said: The victory of Go depends on conforming to the laws of things, not that you are better than your opponent.

The universe is too great, and human beings are too small. Bravely breaking through the lack of human beings, facing up to things that human beings have not faced, just like facing Alphago, may be able to achieve real innovative thinking.

Li Shishi did not simply lose to a series of numbers, but to a group of people. In the backstage of the duel, the entire team was like a dialogue with Alphago, making the documentary more like the struggle of a group of partners.

Oh right, by the way, I really like Fan Hui in the documentary. His French-English accent adds a lot of humanity to this "cold" duel.

After being defeated, he said that he doesn't seem to know himself anymore, and ironically, humans don't seem to criticize Fan Hui as much as they were, which corresponds to what he said at the end:

"Alphago, like a mirror."
