Who asked him to play Go!

Chapter 303: The Final Dark Duel
Time began to speed up again.

Three months later, what was supposed to come came again.

"The challenge has been issued! Man vs. Machine Season 3! Alaphgo is back!"

《The prize money has been increased again, 10 million US dollars! The gamble of the century! 》

"Can Shi Yu defend successfully again this time?"

The news flooded in again, and even Shi Yu’s cell phone received several calls.

He is now sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching the contents of his mobile phone projected on the screen.

Before we knew it, the man-machine war has entered its sixth month.

Although the process is tortuous and the content is heartbreaking, the ending is ultimately moving in a good direction.

This time, Dr. Wang did not kick on Shi Yu's door late at night like the elementary school students who were going to participate in a picnic the next day. Instead, he lay dormant and kept silent, waiting for his move.

Finally, today, he couldn't bear it anymore.

A press conference was held without prior notice to the Chinese Chess Institute or Shi Yu.

"alaphgo zero!"

He made this high-profile announcement in front of the media.

The reason why it is called zero instead of the third generation is that we hope it can truly bring an end.

In addition, he also offered an epic high price of 10 million US dollars, calling on Shi Yu to fight again.

"The battle between us is far from over!"

Dr. Wang's voice swept across like a storm, enough to show his confidence in this generation of products.

"Since ancient times, the highest standard of Go chess. Ten-game match! Follow the ancient method!"

In the living room of Shi Yu's house, the entire group of relatives and friends were leaning on the sofa, watching the moment of issuing the challenge.

"What should I do? What should I do? They are attacking again! It will be really hard to win this time, right?" Tang Zongxuan was so scared that he was shaking.

"Actually, I think it should be fine even if you reject this invitation. After all, from the comments of the fans, many people do suggest that you should not fight again. Just think of it as a way to save your reputation and avoid being crowned as a prisoner."

Jian Wusheng analyzed carefully.

Long before today, many people were discussing what to do when the next man-machine war comes.

Everyone has already assumed that the next time it appears, it will definitely surpass Shi Yu, and even surpass humans. Of course, it would also make sense to reverse the order and first surpass humans and then even surpass Shi Yu. That's the point anyway.

Since it is already assumed that artificial intelligence is superior to humans, there is no need to step up personally and become a stepping stone.

Main dove!
Ke Jue refuted:

"I disagree. I think with Shi Ge's current level, if he plays ten games, the probability of winning one game is very high. As long as he can win one game, it will be considered a loss for this dog!"

In addition to the doves, the war faction also has a loud voice.

They think that if artificial intelligence is upgraded once more, it will be just that, because the top of Go has almost been reached, and further upgrades will be nothing more than carving patterns on rice, which will not make much difference.

In this case, Shi Yu performed exceptionally well. Even if he couldn't win the entire ten-game match, he would at least have a high probability of winning one game.

As we all know, the chess world next door has been shut out, so as long as Go is not shut out, it is a victory!
The two rows of people seemed to form a civil servant group and a military officer group in the court, doing oral radio gymnastics with each other all day long.

"What about you? What do you think? Which faction are you from?" Shi Yu asked Xiang Lu Sizhu.

Her answer was unique and could not be imitated:

"Just go ahead. When you come back, I can cosplay as Alaphgo. No matter how many times it beats you, I'll let you win them all back."

"Ahem, okay, I shouldn't ask you so many questions, please let me go." Shi Yu nodded, sweating profusely.

After a moment of silence, he stood up from the sofa and announced in a solemn tone:
"I know that since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties who cannot grow old in the world. The best way to save a lion's face is to stop fighting. But after thinking about it, I still want to fight it. I accept this challenge."

"Great!" Ke Jue raised his arms and shouted.

"Have you thought it through? The rules this time say it's a ten-game match, but it's still the old rule. You have to complete all ten games. That means your worst case scenario is that you're beaten 10 to 0. If that happens, it might just be a carnival." Jian Wusheng said worriedly.

Shi Yu remained calm: "If you want to achieve greater success, you have to take greater risks. This time, I am not prepared to consider winning just one game a success."

"Really? Are you confident that you can defeat even the third generation of artificial intelligence?"

"I can't say it's true, but at least it's not false. Go back and wait for my good news."

At the end of the day, after the group of people left, Shi Yu lay down.

"Exquisite Art Guidance, start!"

He returned to his usual Jueyi coaching room, sat down in front of the chessboard, propped up his head, and looked as if he was deep in thought with his eyes closed.

"Are you here to practice chess again? You are really diligent. Unfortunately, the war is coming soon. Even if you want to sharpen your skills before the battle, it will probably be useless."

Jueyi was as unobtrusive as ever, making a mocking sound like a female devil.

"No, I'm not here to play chess today, I just want to chat about something."

Shi Yu's lying posture became more comfortable, with his closed eyes as if he was recalling the past.

In the past three or six months, he has been visiting relatives and friends and asking them questions about chess.

Although he had already climbed to the atmosphere beyond the peak of humankind, he had basically no idea about the metaphysical things like the way of chess.

He once visited Nie Lan one afternoon and asked him how he felt when he was named the chess saint but ended up suffering a crushing defeat in the Ying Cup.

When Nie Lan heard the first half of the question, his eyebrows immediately flew up. When he heard the second half, he immediately coughed repeatedly and spoke in a serious tone.

"Shi Yu, I know you've been under pressure from the man-machine battle recently. The feeling of being placed at a high position and not being able to lose a single game is really hard to endure.

But times have changed. Even if you lose, and lose badly, no one will blame you. You are at the pinnacle of the championship. If you can’t hold on any longer, just let go. The chess fans will catch you.”

Nie Lan seemed very embarrassed about this problem, so Shi Yu had to look for another buyer.

The second person found was Iyama Yo. After hesitating for a while, he gave a very awkward answer.

"Leaving aside prize money and game fees, I think the suspense of victory or defeat is very important. It would be boring to know who will win or lose a game before the game starts.

No, no, no, I'm not suggesting that you're manipulating the market all the time, I just think you should cherish every opportunity to have a good time. "

Iyama seemed to have something in mind, but due to the strange and awkward character of the Japanese, he didn't finish his words.

Shi Yu even consulted Jiang Changhao, who had not been very active recently, while he was playing a game in Korea.

“Do you remember what I told you at that time? I said that if you meet a genius boy who suddenly appears one day, I hope you can find a way to defeat him.

Although the reality is slightly different from what we imagined, it does appear in a sense. Artificial intelligence.

You have defeated it twice, and you have tried every possible way, such as solving its bug and you have fulfilled your promise. Whether you accept the challenge or not, I will support you.

Everything that happens next, your victory or defeat, your life, and your future, all depends on you. "

He said a lot of things in one breath. As the chess player who had stood at the top of the human world for the longest time, Shi Yu actually spent the longest time chatting with him. In addition, Shi Yu also visited Li Xiantie, Gu Shengshan, Chang Ren, Jiang Tianqi and others.

He came with questions, big or small, only to discover later that he actually just wanted to ask himself one question.

"You, figure out what kind of life you want to live." Shi Yu murmured.

"Huh? Are you asking me?" Jueyi was stunned.

"No, I'm asking me." Shi Yu shook his head.

"As many people have said, even if I refuse the invitation to this man-machine battle, it doesn't matter at all. When I defeat the second-generation AI, my story will be over.

Whether it is the request of chess fans, the request of historical mission, or my own request, it has all ended.

But is it really okay to end like this? "

"The mission has been completed, isn't it only natural to end it?" Jueyi asked stupidly.

As an artificial intelligence that also has no emotional fluctuations and is just a little bit feminine in words, the game will naturally end once the mission is completed.

"What I have accomplished are tasks, not things."

"thing?"

"Yes, I still have a lot of things I want to do, not just simply completing the goals. A good game should not be played only once, or even twice or three times, but many times. Every time I restart, I will do something I want to do."

Shi Yu looked at the other person with a provocative smile: "How about it, is it hard to understand? This is a unique emotion that only humans have."

"Well, it is indeed beyond my calculations, but even so, you can't pass the third-generation AI. I know your limits better than Lu Sizhu!"

It is absolutely impossible for humans to defeat the third generation of AI unless there is a breakthrough in hardware.

Trying to find a bug is no longer feasible. This loophole must have been fixed by the scientific research team behind the scenes long ago.

The only way is to defeat it head-on, relying on more powerful or perfectly comparable computing power.

No matter which one it is, Shi Yu can't do it.

“Of course, if what you want to do is not to defeat the third-generation AI, but simply to compete with it, then just ignore what I said,” Jueyi said.

"I've said it before, I'm not ready to lose this time when I accept the challenge. Did you forget? I still have one last buff to unlock."

"Oh, it seems so. But what about that? I am a fair AI. I will never provide you with computing power directly. As long as it does not violate this, no matter what the last buff is, it will not be of much use to you."

So far, although each buff on Shi Yu's head is more powerful than the last, when you count them carefully, they do not violate the principle of directly enhancing computing power.

"Besides, this buff has been around for two and a half years. You have tried every possible means but still haven't cracked it. Could it be that you can succeed just now?"

Shi Yu said confidently: "The reason why we have tried every possible method but still failed to crack it is not because the final answer is so weird and tricky, but because there is no answer at all!"

Jueyi: “Hmm?”

"To be more specific, it's not a fixed answer, but an answer I can choose freely!"

Shi Yu took a deep breath: "【Customize】!"

As soon as the words fell, the [???] that had been stubborn for more than two years experienced an unprecedented huge shake, and it cracked with a loud bang.

[Customize] These three words shine like a bath of flames.

As the name suggests, Shi Yu can fill in whatever he wants on it.

This was not just an inspiration that came to me by chance while chatting with Lu Sizhu that day.

Or is it my own feeling during this period of time.

What kind of life do you want to live?
Should you be satisfied with the final message "happy ending" that is frozen on the screen, or click to continue the game and explore the possible true ending?

If it doesn't exist, can I use my tech geek skills to manually solder one on?

The three words "customized" are enough to explain everything.

It's time to give him some refreshment.

Feel what it's like to be a game maker yourself.

"Great, that's amazing. I didn't expect you to be able to see through the truth. But so what? Don't forget, you can never summon me to take action in person!" Jueyi was obviously a little anxious.

"I said, there are some things that AI cannot understand. I will defeat it in a way that only humans can do."

"The way only humans can do it?"

"You'll understand soon enough."

The day is officially over.

Dr. Wang finally returned to his residence exhausted. His excitement quickly cooled down and his face became full of worry.

The challenge for the ten-game match has already been issued, but I’m afraid Shi Yu won’t agree.

He just found out about this.

During the time when he was working hard, public opinion in the chess world changed a lot. From the arrogance during the first generation of man-machine battles, it became conservative and people were very aware of the possibility of failure again.

It looks like technology has won.

But if you think about it carefully, isn't this just pretending to be cool and then running away, quitting while you're ahead?
I really don't intend to give him the chance for revenge!

With such a change in public opinion, Shi Yu might not accept it——

Suddenly his cell phone rang.

The ringing of the bell immediately made Dr. Wang perk up.

Upon closer look, the caller was indeed Shi Yu!

"Hello, is this Dr. Wang? I just saw your press conference, and I agree to play ten games."

"Really? Think about it carefully. In a normal 10-game match, the game is based on who wins six games first, but in this 0-game match, we can win to :."

Dr. Wang was overjoyed, but also cautious.

"Of course I know. This is more interesting. However, I have a request regarding the competition system. If you disagree, my interest in participating in this human-computer 10-game match will be greatly reduced."

"Competition system? What competition system?"

"that is."

After some hesitation, Shi Yu made his request clear.

After hearing this, Dr. Wang was stunned.

"You want to play super-fast chess where one move takes ten seconds?"
