Freeman, are you coming to Berserkely August 7 for Extro 4? Ill bring
my set and clock if you wanna rattle off a few fivers. You will likely
whip my fanny: peaked out at about 1900 several years ago. Now
probably ~1800 on a good day. {8-]
Chess programs are the first task I know of which passes the Turing test.
Using modern chess software, one cannot tell if one is playing against
a computer or an ass kicking human. [This fact killed postal chess.
People quit playing after computers got better than humans, which
happened in the 90s.] Any other examples? spike
