Some Philsophical Questions About Computers And Go
   

Please feel free to answer a question, pose a new one, rant about the author, etc.

How long will it be until a computer is clearly the Go champion?

  • will Moore's Law hold for the next 50/100/200 years?
  • when a computer becomes the 19x19 champ, will a person still be able to beat it at 39x39?

If a computer becomes champ, will Go still still be interesting?

  • unlike chess, people could still play handicap games
  • we could decide "against God, I would need four stones."

Go exposes moral character, so computer Go players will always suck at some wabi/sabi level?

When a computer becomes champ, will anyone care?

  • all non-luck games will already have been won by computers. Go will inevitably be the last skill game to fall?
