The first time I was amazed at the subtlety of Go was when I watched the Japanese anime "Soul of Chess" as a child. Although I have never played Go since then, I felt at that time how amazing and wonderful Go is. The world, those who stand at the top of the Go world, seem to be closest to the essence of the universe, with an indescribable sense of pride and loneliness.
In the days of the Great War of the Century, I only saw some relevant reports on the Internet, and I didn’t watch the live broadcast. Now, when I watch this documentary, I deeply feel how shocking that matchup was enough to go down in history.
The version of AlphaGo at that time was imperfect and flawed, but it still shattered the world's expectations for AI. Outsiders watch the game and will see the outcome, while Fan and Li, who are in the game, are intervening in history.
Fan was the first professional chess player to play against AlphaGo. His mentality can be said to represent the vast majority of people, but the public opinion at that time was really unfair to him. I admire his choice very much. After encountering so many slanders and doubts, he can still participate in this project and become a witness to this history. I think he is actually very lucky, and he is very aware of this. Few people have had the opportunity to experience what he experienced, the excitement and satisfaction of being the starting point of a world change.
In this documentary, he went abroad the most, and he also brought many interesting descriptions and metaphors to this documentary full of various professional terms.
And Li Shishi, this is really a great chess player, he became the last person to beat AI at Go, and his name will be a big stroke!
His voice has a unique hoarseness, as if he is choked at any time, but his temperament is really very literati, there is no lack of confidence in humility, and there is tolerance in calmness. In the game, his pressure or frustration, or even the victory of God's Hand in the fourth game, I think, these are not comparable to his touch when facing this AI opponent.
Go is the chess game that is closest to the essence of the universe. There are very few people who can reach his level. He also hopes to have a strong opponent, and he is indeed lucky enough to play against it, and even win a game.
Human emotion and creativity have always been our proud existence, and when an AI that is stripped of emotion but full of creativity appears, panic and rejection seem to come naturally, but I especially appreciate Lee Sedol's attitude. He was surprised, but also delighted, humble, and tolerant.
His monologue after the fourth and fifth innings of the documentary makes the documentary shine.
They, including Ke Jie later, lost to AI, but other than that, they were still at the pinnacle of the human Go game. They have won countless times against others, but I believe that there has never been a game of chess as amazing as playing against AI.
They are already the people closest to God, and they have fought against another AI that is closer or already God. If the AI has feelings, the loneliness of the strong and invincible in their hearts may be alleviated a little, right?
