Google DeepMind's AI Beats Humans At Even More Computer Games
An anonymous reader writes: Google DeepMind's learning algorithm has trumped human performance in an even greater range of games from the Atari 2600. The system's performance in classic games for the 80's games console has improved steadily since it was revealed in April last year (video) and a paper released yesterday shows it besting people in 31 titles.
Computers have been steadily beating humans at more and more games, "real life" ones or not. Yes, this includes Go. Ironically, humans still beat machines at things that any idiot could do, such as walking or talking or seeing. But even those things are they are getting better and better at (and we aren't), enough to beat us at various surveillance things like recognizing people or license plates.
Humans still beat computers at Calvinball, so there's that.

I don't want my computer to play classic atari games better than me I want it to make my work easier so I can have more time to play classic atari games, just saying.
