Who asked him to play Go!

Chapter 301 "Maybe I could have done something, but it's too late now."

Chapter 301: "Maybe I could have done something, but it's too late now."

The results of the first day of the man-machine battle were not surprising and met everyone's expectations.

Many people outside the industry yawned in boredom when they saw this result, and urged Google to transfer the money quickly and stop wasting everyone's time.

Then the result of the second game of chess made this group of people tremble all over.

Man vs. machine, the game ended in a 1:1 tie.

"Finally won a game!"

Dr. Wang and his teammates hugged each other and cried with joy.

It's so sad.

Originally, this scene of them hugging each other to celebrate should have been reserved for the humans, but unexpectedly, they ended up using it themselves.

It makes as if they are the challengers who are running away in fear.

After a brief moment of happiness, the mood quickly became complicated.

This is so hard to win!
The chances of winning for both sides were very close from the very beginning, and it was not until the last moment that the victory was slowly locked in by half a point!

This is not a man vs. machine war, it's a computer civil war! In short, dog bites dog!

"It seems that we are evenly matched." After staring at the chessboard for a long time, Shi Yu said seriously.

"That may be the case, but the next time you play chess, you will never be as lucky as you are now." Dr. Wang laughed coldly.

He concluded that Ding Yu was bluffing.

Indeed, just looking at the winning rate, one can indeed judge that this is a fair fight with no one superior or inferior.

But for the chess players on the chessboard, there are no precise numbers to refer to, which is also what Dr. Wang considers to be his off-court advantage.

"It's a pity. Maybe you can't feel it, but from my perspective, you were crushed the entire time and your winning rate was always low. It's okay. You've already performed very well. Just regard the victory in the first game as a glory worth remembering for the rest of your life."

Dr. Wang immediately put on the face of a kind elder and spoke earnestly.

He now wanted to take advantage of this information gap to severely damage Shi Yu's self-confidence so that he could easily deal with it tomorrow.

What? I don't agree with you entering the backstage, can you still see the win rate chart out of thin air?

While listening to this, Shi Yu looked at his own unique art panel.

Ok.

This curve graph.

It is smooth and can take off and land aircraft again.

"Okay, I admit it. I have no chance of losing this round. I didn't expect that this is the true strength of artificial intelligence. I am convinced."

Shi Yu also showed a calm expression, which made Dr. Wang particularly happy.

Tomorrow, it’s settled!
-

then.

The competition was held on the fifth day——

"Both parties are invited to enter!"

The number of media present today far exceeds that of any other time, making the place packed with people. Compared with this place, the Avenue of Stars doesn't seem to have as many shutter clicks as here.

So exciting.

At first, people thought that this man-machine battle was just a way to give Shi Yu money.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the two sides were tied at 2-2, keeping the suspense until the last moment.

Man vs. Machine Season 2, final episode.

The flames of war are still burning.

"Five million dollars for a game of chess! Five million dollars for a game of chess! What a concept!"

Outside the court, Nie Lan couldn't help but scream and scratch when she thought of this, and she was so nervous that she pulled her socks through.

The score was 2-2, and the final game would decide the outcome.

In the history of Go, there has never been a game of such great value.

If this happened in ancient times, it would be almost the same as exile or even seppuku.

Not only is it wealth, the meaning behind it is also unprecedentedly huge.

If, two months ago, when we defeated the first generation of Alaphgo, everyone had not realized the seriousness of the situation and thought that it was only because Shi Yu performed beyond his level that he defeated it three times in a row, we might have been able to win.

After these few days, everyone has come to realize that this is a huge chasm.

It’s not that these four games of chess are so exquisite that they make everyone applaud and sigh that they can’t compare to them.

But I couldn’t understand these four games at all and I had no idea how to evaluate them.

But there is one thing everyone can understand.

During the days of the man-machine battle, the entire Alaphgo team was not idle at night. They sent several employees to set up a competition on Yihu and used several accounts to invite masters from all walks of life to challenge them.

The results shocked human chess players.

In just a few days, the entire team of human chess players was defeated to 0:106.

During the first man-machine war, the threat of "I can do anything" was not just a mask of pain, it was like a clown mask.

Not only did they lose in score, but they also lost in content.

Only by sitting in front of the chessboard and experiencing it personally can you know how powerful its oppressive force is and how much ahead it is of other human chess players.

He also realized what a terrifying existence the thing that was against Shi Yu was.

Even so, he still made it 2-2.

This guy is so damn scary!

"Ladies and gentlemen! You are watching the fifth match of the man-machine battle in the field of Go. The two sides have previously tied 2-2. The last game will determine whether Shi Yu can take away a prize of up to 5 million US dollars, and whether the crystallization of wisdom that humans are so proud of can be preserved!"

"Eunuch Fox! Eunuch Fox! The building is about to collapse, you should also take a sip of milk!"

"How can I help this? The only way to win against this thing is to unplug the network cable!" Kinoshita Noko retorted anxiously.

"Mr. Zhan, hurry up and use your power! Just think of a way to take over the body of that dog and give it a hand! Just one hand will be enough!"

Zhan Ying was originally irritated by this, but after thinking about it, she held back: "Okay, I'll make some sacrifices this time and help you out. But if this one doesn't work out, don't blame me."

"Who else? Who else? Who else in our chess world? Where is the Deer Queen? Where is she?"

"She was already at the scene and personally escorted Shi Yujin to the game room."

At the scene, Shi Yu took his seat again and looked up at his opponent, with whom he had been fighting for several days.

Dr. Wang, you look even worse today.

Although he was only responsible for making moves and did not have to use his brain at all, after playing chess for several days in a row, he looked more tired than a mule or a horse.

"Why why why why is he still so confident? Why is he in such a strong state?"

Dr. Wang was so angry that his eyes almost burst into tears and his teeth were itching.

Logically speaking, if artificial intelligence wins one game, won’t it be able to win the rest in one go?
But how can he rebound?

It seems that in the past few days, artificial intelligence has made huge breakthroughs in its battle against Shi Yu, from 0 to 1, and from 1 to 2.

But in fact, this record was far from satisfying Dr. Wang, and he was even scolded by his boss again.

I've said it many times, we are here to sweep the world! We are not here to compete with you in a showdown for the top spot!

"How's the debugging of Alaphgo 2 going? Can it win today's game?" Dr. Wang asked anxiously through the intercom.

"It's fine now. After the games of the past two days, and the fact that it has been training itself during this period, it is guaranteed to be foolproof today!"

Hearing his subordinate's affirmative reply, Dr. Wang was cheered up: "Very good, this time we must take down Shi Yu no matter what!
Losing two games is humiliating enough, but if we lose the entire five-game match, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Under the boss's firm request, the subordinates could only say yes.

I dare not tell the boss that there is actually a second half of the sentence "but".
Forget it, the probability of that happening is very low, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t tell you.

While Dr. Wang was becoming anxious and ill, Shi Yu was also reviewing the four games he had played in the past few days.

In the first game, he defeated alaphgo by half a point and won the game.

In the second game, artificial intelligence won in the same way, and the first round of confrontation officially ended in a draw.

The third round was his winning game, as he was the first to find an opportunity in the fierce mid-game battle.

In the fourth round, alaphgo won again and the score was officially tied.

Not only was the score tied, but even the post-match winning rate chart was almost balanced.

It's already the limit.

It is the limit that humans can achieve theoretically, and it is also almost the limit that he himself can achieve.

After finishing his meditation, Shi Yu continued to focus on what was in front of him.

Regardless of whether this is the end or not, and whether I still have to continue to face the challenge of the third-generation AI, at least I still urgently want to win this game.

"The last round, the game begins!"

Guess first.

Shi Yu plays black and Alaphgo plays white.

The four corners are occupied at the speed of light.

The routine unfolds uneventfully.

The layout is being steadily advanced.

The mid-game battle will begin soon!
"The momentum is good. Our previous wins were all at this rate. Keep it up!"

After more than fifty moves, Black and White have already had several contact battles, leaving several flash points, and the whole game is full of clues.

59 hands, break in!

Move 61, a stab! After two moves, the white pieces are directly attacked, dancing with sharp knives in the outer position.

All his previous victories were won in this way, and his control over active offense was far better than that of passive defense.

104 moves, interrupt the fight!

106th move, post it!

The battle above was still undecided, and Alaphgo immediately moved the chess pieces below to add fuel to the fire.

In the metaphysical world, the computing power from flesh and blood is competing back and forth with the dark green army composed of countless 0s and 1s!

On the chessboard, the situation of multiple dragons dancing together is inevitable.

"Why are you making it so complicated?"

"That's right, do you still want someone to explain it?"

At the front desk, due to Nie Lan's poor heart condition, the commentators on the field had already been replaced by Tang Zongxuan + Jian Wusheng.

At this point, it seems that no one in the world can interpret this peak battle between man and machine. We can only hope that these two loyal group elders can understand Shi Yu's chess.

Their reactions were very frank, and we don’t understand them, so we might as well just brag about it.

"There is only one thing that is certain about this situation. It may not be favorable to Shi Yu anymore."

After observing Shi Yu's game status, they both gave a consistent evaluation.

Game room.

Shi Yu could feel cold sweat passing over his head, and beads of sweat hit the chessboard.

Judging from the situation alone, he is not bad at all now. If you evaluate him against any chess player, it would be 50-50. Maybe you would even think that he is easier to play against.

But based on his experience and increasingly meticulous judgment, his winning rate is now only around 36%.

For humans, this difference in winning rate is of course as light as a feather.

But based on his review of the past few days, in his match with Alaphgo, 36% is a very dangerous signal. Once this critical point is crossed, the winning rate will gradually tilt and move towards the finish line like a mirror.

Could it be that it has achieved another technological breakthrough in these few days?
I don’t know, I just know that the intensity is still increasing.

Compared with the previous few games, the pressure in this set was obviously increased.

The first two games have proven that he and the second-generation AI are evenly matched. In this situation, if either side has one more feather, it will be enough to tip the scales.

This is the Wall of Sighs.

Legend has it that even if the gods came here, they could only sigh.

This is also the boundary of the gods and the farthest place that humans can advance.

Although there were countless demons, ghosts, gods and Buddhas behind the wall, they were no longer something he could look directly at.

That's all.

No need to fight anymore
?
Just as his thoughts were about to sink to the bottom of the lake, Shi Yu opened his eyes.

wrong.

It’s far from over.

It would be a miracle if we could turn defeat into victory in this situation.

Then just skip the process of turning defeat into victory and directly believe in the miracle itself.

Move 147, rush!
Then, it broke with a snap!
"The Emperor of Time is still provoking fights?"

Even though the loyal duo had already mentally anticipated Shi Yu's various anti-human behaviors, they were still shocked when they saw this.

There were already enough isolated chess pieces fighting on the field, but he seemed unsatisfied and moved out one more chess piece.

Is this really good?

Even those of us with mortal eyes can see that there is something wrong at a glance!

"Good! Good! Very good! Shi Yu has made a losing move!"

Dr. Wang felt so relieved that he only wished he could rush backstage and hug his team members.

This was the first time in the past few games that Shi Yu's winning rate dropped so much with one move.

It seems that he has finally retained his human status and avoided being mistaken for an undercover agent planted in the Earth's base by a silicon-based life form.

3:2, man vs. machine, this time it’s finally technology’s turn to win!
Move 148, capture, start the game!
Following the first-choice variation diagram given by alaphgo, Dr. Wang made his move with great force.

The situation on the chessboard took a sharp turn for the worse, which instantly caused an uproar in the outside world, with countless people shouting that our army had been defeated.

36.9%!

32.6%!

16.5%!

4.7%!
opened!
With a pop, the champagne physically opened.

The entire backstage was filled with celebration.

They had agreed long ago that if Yu's winning rate dropped below 10% at one o'clock, they would open the champagne that had been prepared in advance on the spot.

They just wished they could rush to the front, join in the celebration with their boss, and toast to the moon.

Only the colleague who had spoken to Dr. Wang before was feeling uneasy at this moment.

He found that the chess game was increasingly consistent with the low probability he was worried about.
Soon, Shi Yu's chess piece swung down from a high place -

Aim at the middle of the abdomen, and dig in mid-air at the part where the white chess piece jumps up.

"What kind of chess is this?"

Even with Dr. Wang's keen eyesight, he could see the absurdity of this chess move.

If Shi Yu was really a silicon-based creature, Dr. Wang would definitely report this person for finding a bug.

Without thinking too much, I just followed the first-choice variation chart given by alaphgo.

After finishing the display——

Ok?
Why did Shi Yu increase in value?

From 0.2% to 5.8% in one breath?

Did Shi Yu make another outstanding move?

Forget it, he can only do this for a while, it's just 5.8%, he will still be beaten to death like a soft persimmon.

As I was thinking this——

Snapped!
5.8% → 13.6%
Dr. Wang shrank, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

Isn’t this win rate increase too big?
Although 13.6% was still not acceptable, he already had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

After wavering, he decided to continue believing in his masterpiece.

Humphrey's four-step strategic crisis public relations, the first step -

"We claim nothing happened!"

Snapped!
13.6%→22.1%!

Dr. Wang increasingly felt that his life was hanging by a thread.

The situation is getting worse.

He could also clearly see that there were some problems with Alaphgo's previous moves.

Shi Yu had such a big piece on him, couldn't he have been killed with one strike? Why did they just let him do the work?
Damn it! If I had known earlier, I should have micro-managed the chess piece myself and moved it 50 centimeters to the left! I broke the eye with one move and killed it directly!

But it’s hard to say given the current situation.

Shi Yu’s winning rate is already 22.1%. Even if a top-tier expert were to come over, there is a high probability that he would not be able to defeat him, not to mention how he could micro-manage.

Dr. Wang glanced at the computer next to him again and looked into its eyes, as if seeking resonance.

moment--

I still believe in my work.

Humphrey's four-step strategic crisis public relations, step two -

“Maybe something is going on, but no action should be taken!”

Not long after that——

22.1%→35.7%!

puff!
Dr. Wang spat out a mouthful of blood.

What exactly went wrong?

Could it be that, could it be that, could it be that it was not Shi Yu who caused the bug, but us?

"Daddy Dog, please wake up. We still have a 65% chance of winning. We can still win if we get our attitude right!"

Although he was aware of the problem, Dr. Wang could only place the chess pieces according to the selected diagram and could not do anything else.
