Chapter 594: Artificial Intelligence Crisis
"So, you can only choose to be a subject of artificial intelligence and be willing to bow down at its feet, right?"
"Nie Jie, you can't say that. Cars run faster than humans, but don't we have track and field events? Cranes can lift more than humans, but don't we have weightlifting events? Go is indeed a very special sport, but it is also a competitive sport. We don't need to compare ourselves with other opponents besides humans. The role of artificial intelligence is just to assist in training."
After listening to Xu You's persuasion, Nie Jie's mood became better.
"That's true. There's no need for humans to compete with cars in speed. Wait a minute...what does this have to do with joining if you can't beat them?"
"Of course it is related. In fact, Lou Song had similar feelings to you when he first came into contact with artificial intelligence. But the difference is that Lou Song found a way to cooperate with artificial intelligence and use the powerful computing power of artificial intelligence to help him solve complex mathematical problems."
"Oh? Is there still such a thing?"
Nie Jie doesn't understand how artificial intelligence can solve complex mathematical problems, but it is indeed possible .
"In this era, the speed of technological development is getting faster and faster. Faced with these technologies that are so powerful that they are beyond our past cognition, what we need to do is not to avoid them, but to learn to coexist with them. I think that including the way you use artificial intelligence to train Go can be improved."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not going to teach you how to play chess in front of an expert, but I think that humans and machines have different ways of thinking, and blindly imitating the software's way of playing chess is not the right approach. Before you return to the top of Go, you should first figure out how to better use artificial intelligence to help improve your chess skills."
What Xu You said was very abstract, but it enlightened Nie Jie from a strange angle, making Nie Jie feel as if he had suddenly realized something.
"I understand now. The biggest weakness of chess players nowadays is that they rely too much on artificial intelligence. It seems that everyone's chess skills are improving, but in fact the foundation is not that solid."
It feels like modern people have far more knowledge than ancient people. But if modern people were put into the wild, they might not even be able to survive.
It can be said that the reason why today's chess players are more powerful is largely because they are standing directly on the shoulders of giants.
The way human chess players practice chess will inevitably leave them with many weaknesses.
Of course, how to use these to find the weaknesses of other chess players can only be studied by Nie Jie himself.
Seeing that Nie Jie's mood had improved a lot, Xu You decided to add fuel to the fire and make Nie Jie fall in love with Go again.
"Just now, when you heard me use black and white pieces to name the two basic particles I discovered, you were so excited. You must like Go from the bottom of your heart. In fact, I think there must be another reason why you don't like playing Go recently?"
"What's the reason?"
"The popularity of Go is too low. There are only players from three major countries participating in it. Its global influence is far from enough."
These words sounded unreasonable, but they hit the nail on the head for Nie Jie.
The world's main players in professional Go are mainly from China, South Korea, and Japan.
Even though the rise of artificial intelligence has attracted more people in the world to pay attention to the sport of Go, they have only tried it superficially and it has not been popularized on a large scale.
"That's true. If the whole world were to actively participate in Go competitions, I would be even more excited."
In comparison, the variations of chess are not as complicated as those of Go, but its popularity and global attention are much higher than Go.
Xu You believes that the reason for this is largely that Go has not been promoted enough and many countries have not accepted the culture of Go.
This is also an important part of the dissemination of Eastern culture.
Nie Jie's mood improved a lot when he thought about competing with chess players from all over the world in the future.
The gloomy moods of the past gradually dissipated and faded away.
"Okay, once I have adjusted my mindset, I will continue to be a good Go player and dominate the Go field. The top position in the world of Go will definitely return to my hands!"
Seeing that Nie Jie was successfully enlightened by him, Xu You also smiled knowingly.
"But Xu You, I have a point of view that I want to discuss with you. I think that artificial intelligence will definitely dominate more industries in the future , even some art industries. Take AI painting for example. After AI masters the painting skills, its painting ability will be much stronger than that of human painters. Not to say that it will replace all painters, but at least most of them will be replaced by artificial intelligence in the future."
After hearing Nie Jie's point of view, Xu You basically expressed his agreement.
Every industry has its own specific skills, and artificial intelligence has extremely strong learning abilities. It is also very normal for it to surpass humans in many fields.
"This is also an inevitable trend of the times. For competitive sports like Go, as long as AI players are banned, it will not have any impact on the professional league. But if it is some purely commercial output industry, AI may completely replace humans. This is just like cars have replaced rickshaws."
"It seems that the rise of artificial intelligence will cause a wave of unemployment. I wonder which industries will be unable to be done by artificial intelligence in the future."
Xu You was not very worried about this situation and said calmly:
"If that day really comes, many humans won't have to work, because artificial intelligence will be enough to help humans create resources, and it will be normal to give everyone money directly. Money is used to allocate resources. When resources are in excess, the minimum security of humans will also be greatly improved."
"This also requires a suitable system, I hope it will be so."
"But no matter what, artificial intelligence will never completely replace humans. In terms of creativity, artificial intelligence is absolutely incomparable to humans."
This is also what Xu You believes, that humans will always have an advantage over artificial intelligence.
After seeing Nie Jie off, Xu You continued his work in the laboratory.
In the evening, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao went home together and talked about what happened when they met Nie Jie during the day.
"What did you two talk about today? Did you keep talking about Go?"
Hearing Lu Zhiyao's question, Xu You told Lu Zhiyao the general content of his conversation with Nie Jie today.
After listening to this, Lu Zhiyao smiled and said:
“I am sure there is one area where artificial intelligence can never replace humans.”
