He beat the AI one time in the best of game back in 2017 I think, but has not been able to beat it since. He feels theres no point in playing anymore as the AI can not be beaten.

What are your thoughts of people quitting their passions due to computers becoming better than people in many aspects?

Go, literally the oldest board game in modern history, that has Magnas, Anime, movies, about it. Was even in a few block buster movies like Tron Legacy and many others. Geez man, get from under your rock.

Seems like a silly reason to retire, since he'd be playing people in tournaments. If he's old, then it might just be a last straw type deal I guess.

That seems like a dumb reason to quit. I'm fairly certain that tournaments are still against humans.

He is pretty young still, only 36, His name is Lee Se-dol.

What I thought was funny was he was bashing a lower level pro that got beaten by the AI, then during his matches with it got curb stomped and only managed to win one match due to a move that literally no one saw coming that was a complete curve ball.

No joke. I mean they don't make star football player money but the the top players do make in the millions over their career.

It's like you simultaneously do and don't want to talk about these stories you bring up.

you say you want to talk about them but every single one of your topics turns into this because you insist on being weirdly smarmy about it. seems like itd be easier to just do it
