To decisively illustrate my point on the overhype, misunderstandings, and painful limitations of AI:
Who verified AlphaGo before they put it into production? Nobody verified these machines actually, truly knew the fundamentals of Go. Or if they did, perhaps they convinced themselves that the machine's moves were simply too advanced, too god-like for us puny mortals to understand. The failing is not on the AI- it is on the humans with deeply rooted inferiority complexes that secretly wish for a Deus ex machina (a god from the machine, a singularity) so desperately, they would project it onto the first thing they can find.
The results of mentally submitting to this false idol are predictably tragic.
How many amateur and professional players like Sedol quit Go after they announced this "unbeatable" AI?
