In what may be the most closely watched board match since Spassky and Fischer in Reykjavik, AlphaGo, a computer designed by Google's Deep Mind lab, is taking on the world champion of the ancient Chinese game of Go. The five-game match is being fought in Seoul. The score so far: Computer 1, Human 0.
The news of this triumph of artificial intelligence has created great excitement in other areas. Among them:
The National Football League. The Denver Broncos have signed AlphaGo to replace the retired Peyton Manning at quarterback.
The Republican Party. The GOP has found in AlphaGo the only candidate likely to defeat Donald Trump.
Pointless Digressions: This blog is now written by AlphaGo.
