Who asked him to play Go!

Chapter 299: Two months later, the second round of human-machine combat is waiting for you!
The first man-machine war was over.

It should be said that this competition did achieve the publicity effect that the Google AI research team wanted.

Countless people inside and outside the circle watched the progress of the game. On Yihu alone, there were hundreds of thousands of people watching, not to mention the other platforms combined.

Even in Europe and the United States, where Go is not widely practiced, it created an unprecedented event with the level of attention far exceeding expectations.

Also.

Artificial intelligence is being badly beaten by carbon-based organisms, it's hard not to pay attention to this.

"Shame on technology! Google AI was defeated by humans!"

Ancient Eastern Art Defeats Western Science

"A charity event with great publicity! Thanks Google!"

This man just conquered the tech giant!

Overnight, the legend of Shi Yu's man-machine war had spread from Asia to the entire blue planet.

“Take it again, again, again, again!”

Shi Yu slapped the table, kicked up the chair, and assumed a winning pose.

A few days later, the Google Cup officially ended. Shi Yudi defeated his old rival Li Xiangtie for the umpteenth time and won the championship without any suspense.

Compared to the 3-0 popularity of the man-machine battle, this victory was much quieter, with almost no one paying attention. Few people were applauding at the scene, and the sponsors’ billboards were almost removed by the sponsors.

no way.

Compared to the $300 million earned from these three games, the $36 brought by this championship is just a tiny addition.

The difference in meaning behind them is even greater than that between heaven and earth.

At the end of the game, no relevant person in charge came out to present awards or make speeches, and all the work was done by Mr. Nie.

"Let us hope that Google will continue to host such a competition next time!" Nie Lan said with a rosy face and great anticipation.

“Return with a full load!”

After the celebration, Shi Yu returned home again, full of vigor and vitality.

"We won! We defeated the extraterritorial demons and defended the dignity of mankind!"

Under the leadership of Shi Yu, the loyal trio returned to the cottage after being away for many days. Tang Zongxuan couldn't help but cheering as soon as he entered the door.

Even though the buddies were kicked out by Yu two years ago.

But every time there is a championship or other good news, everyone will still celebrate at Shi Yu's house because the screen is big enough.

"What do you mean we defeated the outer demons? Not to mention that you didn't win 3-0, you also didn't win 0-21, did you?"

Jian Wusheng interrupted.

"Don't ask me if I've ever been on or off the field. Just tell me if I'm human and if I've ever folded a thousand paper cranes for our future in my heart."

"Okay, you're awesome."

Lu Sizhu also came over and nodded bluntly: "Oh, you won again, do you have a trophy this time?"

"Yes, yes, yes. A trophy worth $36. The only drawback is that it's a little small."

"Didn't they give you something as a souvenir for the other three million?" Lu Sizhu tilted his head.

"I really wanted to ask them for some souvenirs to prove that I defeated Alaphgo three times, but considering their emotional state at the time, I decided not to."

Shi Yu calmly recalled the situation at that time.

Looking back to the first few days, Dr. Wang would interact with him on WeChat, talking about the black and white roads, as well as the bright future of mankind and AI technology.

As a result, after the 3:0 day, Dr. Wang blocked him.

Maybe all the fans signed by Shi Yu collected at home were thrown into the fire pit.
"Wait a minute, this time I went on this expedition, I withdrew 336 million US dollars in one go, but you only care about that cup, right?" Shi Yu was very concerned about this.

Lu Sizhu asked in confusion: "Is $336 million a lot?"

"Haha, converted into RMB, it's more than 20 million."

"Oh, so it's 20 million. If it's this much, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You don't understand me using U.S. dollars, right? If I use Japanese yen, I can get 500 million. Do you think it's more?"

Lu Sizhu nodded blankly.

Shi Yu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll take care of the money from now on. Turn on the TV, and have a seat first."

Unlike previous cyber events, you don't even need to click on the China, Japan and South Korea section. Just flipping through it, you'll see endless reports about this man-machine war.

Needless to say, without exception, all the words were praises for Shi Yu, saying that he was protecting not only the ancient and traditional sport of Go, but also the intellectual heights of the entire human civilization.

Before the game, countless people in the technology zone used Deep Blue's victory over humans as an example to prove that humans would undoubtedly lose this battle. The most optimistic speculation was that the odds were stacked against them.

Even the financial and legal areas have followed suit. These two areas are like this. They don't know much about anything, but like to get involved in everything.

have to say.

Nowadays, the villains in the chess circle have long been purged, and there is really no one willing to act as a villain.

Therefore, Shi Yu was also very grateful to this group of financial and legal bigwigs for being willing to take on this tough job and take the initiative to become the target of crazy slaps in the face.

The Go community is as peaceful and prosperous as ever, with people singing praises.

The remaining seven players were beaten 0:21, which was quite unexpected.

But Shi Yu's 3:0 was decided by everyone in advance.

In addition, this group of people are also very keen on commenting on AlphaGo's chess style and skills, saying which historical chess player it is like and how strong it is.

Not many people cared about the latter question, but for the former question, everyone said he looked like Mr. Zhan.

Especially after it fell into a big disadvantage in the second game against Shi Yu, its series of suicidal behaviors made everyone laugh. Every barbell-like laugh was like a shot of wind oil sprinkled on Google's face.

Is this artificial intelligence?
By the way, Mr. Zhan, who was always at the forefront of defection, was unexpectedly strong this time. He did not show any emotional fluctuations from beginning to end. He watched all three games while cracking melon seeds.

Even Japan and South Korea fully affirmed Shi Yu's performance this time. The veterans shed tears on the spot and could not help but admire him.

Dean Jin also had to admit that Shi Yu did a great job this time and said some nice words in public.

The only ones who were a little emotional were the seven teammates of the same tribe who accompanied him on the expedition.

how?

So we are Vegeta in Dragon Ball, whose only role is to be defeated at the critical moment to highlight the opponent's strength?

I don't agree! Let's do it again! Give us another chance, and we will definitely be able to eat a plate of this dog!
"We're done with the Asian meal, now it's time for Western desserts." Shi Yu wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth.

The domestic situation was more or less as expected.

They have been tired of praising Shi Yu for a long time, so this time they mainly praised Go itself. In addition to praising the wisdom of their ancestors, they also said in a somewhat yin-yang way that "in the field of Go, it will take some time for technology to catch up with humans."

It's much more interesting overseas.

In the eyes of these foreigners, Go has become an ancient and mysterious oriental metaphysics that blocks the attack of alien technology.

Also shining brightly is Shi Yu himself.

He is too young and looks too strong. This time, he defeated artificial intelligence as a human being, which fully satisfied their yearning for heroes. They don't mind whether the one they killed is the technology giant they are proud of.

Even many conspiracy theorists believe that this is actually a conspiracy by Microsoft or Apple, and they are the masterminds behind Shi Yu, just to give Google a hard time. In any case, taking this opportunity, Go has indeed gained a wave of popularity around the world.

In a sense, Shi Yu once again completed the task of expanding territory.

Including his own fame, was also included in this wave of expansion.

"By the way, if one day I'm defeated by AI, don't be surprised."

Shi Yu lay down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked very comfortable.

Only Lu Sizhu could hear the fatigue and seriousness in his voice, while the others were stunned.

Ke Jue was the first to show an "I understand, I understand" expression, nodding his head repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, after all, Brother Shi, you are also a normal human being. There are always ups and downs in your performance. This time, it just so happens that your performance is off the charts, while others are not, right?"

"Yes, yes, if I'm not mistaken, after you win this championship, you will most likely be upset and eliminated early in the next world championship, right?" Jian Wusheng also understood.

Tang Zongxuan slapped his thigh as usual: "Yes, that's the scenario! After being eliminated in the first round, he used the excuse of being in a bad mood or not in good condition to directly skip the next world championship, becoming the first chess player to study the next world championship."

These three brothers have been hanging out together for a long time and have become more and more skilled. They are like human centipedes and can talk to each other smoothly.

A long time ago, a group of them discussed privately whether Shi Yu's recent frequent losses in chess were intentional.

He was skeptical at first. After all, there is no handicap in Go, and it seemed that there would be no benefit for him to deliberately let the game go.

After this man-machine battle, this doubt was finally dispelled.

This person is definitely pretending. His purpose is to inspire others and promote overall development. In fact, he has already reached perfection and is in control of it!
"Rest first, you are already very tired." Lu Sizhu said in the tone of a hostess, "You guys go back first."

"Yes" The three of them felt pressured inexplicably.

It's almost bedtime.

Shi Yu could finally lie down and have a good rest.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but as time goes by, there are more and more high-intensity competitions, and the effect of [Recuperation] is becoming less and less obvious.

This game of chess feels even more so.

After just a few days of not seeing each other, its intensity has clearly increased.

Although it is still within the range of his attack, what will happen in the future? Can he keep winning like this?
With the help of [Surpass Yourself], can you keep up with the speed of AI evolution?
When will the next man-machine war begin?
Unlike other passers-by who optimistically concluded that artificial intelligence could not defeat humans in the field of Go, Shi Yu had witnessed the era when AI dominated the chessboard and knew that its upper limit was far more than this game.

The team behind it will never give up because of this crushing defeat.

No matter what, Alaphgo has at least swept the other seven top players for 21 games. With this result as a foundation, they are definitely motivated.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, Shi Yu's cell phone moved.

Without thinking too much, I picked up my phone and took a look -

WeChat: “Dr. Wang reapplies to add you as a friend.”

Shi Yu was dumbfounded.

Good guy.

It’s only been a few days since you blocked and deleted me, and you have the nerve to add me back again?
Hey, I just don’t order it.

It was you who blocked and deleted me first, so it’s hard to add me back this time.

As an expert at placing plays, Shi Yu put it aside, then lay down and wait until the next morning to deal with it.

As a result, not long after, the cell phone rang directly.

At first glance, it was an unfamiliar number.

"Your cell phone is ringing, don't you want to answer it?" Lu Sizhu asked while lying beside him.

"It's okay, it's just an unscrupulous sales call. Just pretend no one is there."

"Will someone make sales calls late at night?"

"So they are unscrupulous. This is when people are most tired and relaxed. It is easy to fall into their trap and can't help but place an order."

Finally, after it rang three times in a row, it stopped ringing for the fourth time.

"Is it really okay? Its desire to sell seems to be much stronger than I thought."

"Ahem, it's okay. It's really okay now."

Shi Yu thought that he could finally have a good sleep now.

how?

How could you knock on my door so late at night when I'm almost going to sleep and ask me to be your friend face to face?
"Boom boom boom!"

"Ding dong ding dong ding dong!"

"Dong, dong, dong! Ding, dong, ding, dong!"

Thirty minutes later, there was a sudden and frantic knocking on the doorbell downstairs.

"Oh my god, he really came to my house, didn't he?"

Shi Yu thought that this group of people definitely had the motivation to continue advancing AI research.

But the outrageous level of action was really unexpected.

There's no other way, we really have to meet each other now.

It was around twelve o'clock in the evening. For a professional chess player with a good schedule, it was already late at night, but Shi Yu still opened the door for the man.

Sure enough, Dr. Wang was standing at the door, with a haggard and blood-pressured smile on his face, and his dark circles were particularly obvious.

I could vaguely feel the heavy resentment he had been feeling during this period.

It's like saying, you little ancestor finally want to see me.

"Hello, Dr. Wang. Why are you here so late in the evening?" Shi Yu smiled brightly.

Visiting at the door in the early morning was a shady job that even Shi Yu couldn't do.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a researcher. He dares to break the rules and use any means necessary. His thinking cannot be judged by ordinary people.

Dr. Wang didn't ask you why you didn't add me on WeChat or answer my phone call, but went straight to the point:

"Let me give you a belated congratulations. Congratulations on defeating the first generation of Alaphgo."

He deliberately pronounced the word "first generation" very clearly.

"Is there another second-generation Alaphgo waiting for me to defeat?" Shi Yu predicted in advance.

"That's right, in two months, the second round of the man-machine battle will be waiting for you!"

"Two months, right? Okay, I understand." Shi Yu's calmness far exceeded Dr. Wang's expectations.

Then, he couldn't help but look at her with a strange look:
"Speaking of which, can't you notify us tomorrow morning? Why do you have to choose this time?"

Dr. Wang smiled with a smile that made his back teeth itch:

"Because I just thought of this! I'll do it right away! Otherwise, I won't sleep today!"
