Wasn't human kind living in simulated realities in Matrix?
There is an event called "singularity", which will happen when an AI will self-improve to the point when will exceed any human intelligence. There is even a "Singularity University".
I've read about AlphaGo. Makes you wonder what will come next.
Living in a simulated reality? I don't look forward for the moment. But will I know if that happens?
If you're interested in the AlphaGo-project, you should look up the documentary about it on Netflix. really worth the watch and it makes you think about how far we've already come with the development of AI. Thanks for your response!
AlphaGo is really just a an example we and most people can grasp (just like DeepBlue in the past for chess), because it means a direct competition between man and machine. Human mind is more complex than winning in a game. But we will witness this 'singularity event' during our lifetime.
