Bridges Supercomputer Used to Build AI Model for Beating Humans at Poker
Can somebody explain why poker is a big deal? I don&#x27;t play poker and I don&#x27;t see why is it complex for an AI. I can see why chess&#x2F;go could be a big deal: there&#x27;s definitely a solution to the game, but the space is too large for it to be computed, so you have to optimize somehow, which real players somewhat can. When computers were slow, humans did it better than computers.<p>Poker, I thought, doesn&#x27;t really have any solutions, it is largely about luck, no one really knows what&#x27;s going on, so aside from some probabilistic computations it is about guessing what your opponent thinks while not giving up what you think. Choosing and seeing the behavior. I would think that playing against AI is generally pointless, since computers don&#x27;t worry. I mean, surely there are some general guidelines on strategy, since somebody plays better that the others, but following it shouldn&#x27;t be harder for a computer than for a human, quite the opposite.<p>So, what is true?
