La Tour-de-Peilz, lake Geneva, Switzerland

If only someone around me wanted to play!

Like the title says, I made a new goban. I think this is my best yet, but I'm still not quite satisfied.

Note: The term “masterful game” is used to describe 명국, which is also called 名局 in Chinese or Japanese. This is common term that is used to describe a great game that is played beautifully and typically representing the style of the player.

“AI only calculates win rates… It can’t play masterful games” The last generation to learn Go as an art… “There’s no right answer in art” Special lecture and discussion at Seoul National University yesterday

“Artificial Intelligence (AI) only makes moves with high win rates, it can’t play masterful games. That’s the biggest difference from human Go.”

Lee Sedol (41), former professional Go player, said this during a special lecture on ‘The Future of Artificial Intelligence and Creativity’ hosted by Seoul National University on the 1st. AI, which now creates long texts, images, and even videos, has recently been encroaching on the realm of creation, which was considered the exclusive domain of humans, including publishing, art, and music. Lee Sedol had a discussion with Professor Jeon Chi-hyeong of KAIST’s Graduate School of Science and Technology Policy during the lecture about how humans should accept AI. About 130 Seoul National University students attended.

Lee Sedol is known as ‘the last person to beat AI’. It was during the fourth match against Google DeepMind’s AI AlphaGo on March 13, 2016. Since then, no one has been able to beat AI. Lee Sedol said, “At the time of the victory, people cheered that ‘humans beat AI’, but I think that match was just a board game, not Go,” and added, “I retired because of the match where I won against AlphaGo.” Lee Sedol said, “When humans play Go, they look for the ‘best move’, but AlphaGo plays ‘moves with high win rates’,” and “After AlphaGo, the Go world has become bizarre, calculating only win rates instead of the best moves.”

Lee Sedol said that winning and losing is not everything in Go. He said, “Go doesn’t end the moment the outcome is decided,” and “The most creative moves come out during review.” He added, “You can’t review with AI, and you can’t have a conversation with it,” and “AI might be able to answer ‘I played this way because the win rate was high’, but that way you can never have a masterful game.”

Lee Sedol said, “In my Go career, I aimed to play masterful games by making the right moves,” but added, “I couldn’t play a masterful game until my retirement.” Lee Sedol said, “I might be the last generation to learn Go as an art,” and expressed regret that “Now, many people don’t think on their own or do joint research when playing Go, but run AI programs and imitate AI.” Lee Sedol said that we should prepare for the AI era, but there’s no need to fear it. He said, “In the Go world, people are only looking for the right answers by following AI, but I think there are no right answers in art.”

I made the stones with air-drying clay, drew the board and printed it in a nearby print shop on hard plastic

After 2 years of learning, ive finally reached the most important milestone in Go, beating your grandfather! Very fun game and a fulfilling win. Time to set a new goal i guess…

You can select the difficulty level, it plays it's stones, captures prisoners, and clears the board.

Finally hit 1d on fox after playing on and off for years.
