    haha as If Ai was ever going to stop at laborious tasks.

    it was beating chess champions long before writing and art came into the picture…

      That feeling of dread when you blunder a piece against stockfish and it doesn’t even take it but instead pushes a random pawn. That’s when you know you’re really in the shit.

      Chess engines don’t use machine learning

      edit: ya know, I get why y’all would downvote my other comments but this one is just a fact.

        Machine learning is only one AI technique. AI research has been going on since the 1950’s. They’ve gone through many different approaches with widely varying results. Symbolic and logic based AI, expert systems, minimax, Monte Carlo tree search, and many different machine learning approaches.

          They’re clearly talking about machine learning in the pic, though. And in my experience, so is practically everyone else when it comes to AI discourse these days.

            Clearly? What’s so clear about that? I doubt the person quoted in the story even knows what machine learning is, let alone the differences between LLMs, CNNs, and older techniques such as expert systems (the AI in video games) or fuzzy logic (the AI in fancy rice cookers).

        This is just wrong. Yes they do.

        Take stockfish for example. It’s probably the most well known engine. It uses specialized neural networks to evaluate board positions.

        regardless of the backend mechanism of the particular Ai, it was still always going to encroach on multiple disciplines.

        maybe robots can do dishes but Ai is more than a robot.
