I've been saying this ages. Thank you assholes for focusing on automating art and games like chess. What is the benefit for humanity? You just ruined my hobbies. Focus on automatic plumbers and farmers, for Thoth's sake.
I can't speak for art, but I think that engines certainly have their place in improving the way we play chess (and not just objectively, but in terms of human play too). Leela's latest WDL (win/draw/loss) contempt is a really neat tool that looks for complexity in a position over objective 'best' moves, producing uniquely aggressive positions see this vid for an example implementation.
Robots cost a lot and most of all new advancements are spearheaded by the Foss comunity
Robots used to cost a lot, but now technology is cheap and you can build a lot of stuff even at home and without a real workshop.
"Cheap" no one is ready topaya a 4th of a months salary to risk potentially just throwing away with no real benefit for oneself the upfront cost just isn't worth it most of the time for the Foss comunity
Ok i never said anything about the foss community and i was talking about the assholes that can afford to spend millions to train a model, like openai did starting wih gpt3
