I have played Go since the 70s. Go, like any board game with a fixed number spaces, can be reduced to a finite number of variables. Given enough number crunching power a machine will win. Just like chess. 

Sure doesn't sound like the easy game you're portraying it is. http://www.nature.com/news/google-reveals-secret-test-of-ai-bot-to-beat-top-go-players-1.21253 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-the-computer-beat-the-go-master/

I didn't say I was good at it. In fact, I'm not. But I like it anyway. Thanks for the links.

I’ve been watching Marvel’s Agents of Shield and all this AI and android stuff is scaring me. What ever happened to Issac Asimov’s three laws of robotics? Hmm?

At some point, probably soon, governments and the law will have to begin some rule-making. 

And for an excellent, thought-provoking and somewhat concerning view read this:

I HIGHLY recommend it.

Maybe we're asking the wrong questions?

Q: Hey Siri, what time does the art museum close? 
A: There are 5 tacos places in your area.

I just tried this, Siri gave me a list of the closest museums and their hours of operation. If I tap on a particular museum I get directions, expected time of travel, the phone number of the museum, the address and yelp fact to know as well as yelp reviews. I'm so tired of people trying to make Siri seem worst than it really is 😪🙄.
