[ExI] Computers are changing humans

[Giovanni Santostasi]

I'm not sure that a human trained to work with an AI to improve its
performance would do worse than AI alone. The existing competitions in both
fields do not allow for such a combination if I understand correctly.
Also if that is the case then let's invent a better game where humans and
AI can work together and enhance each other capabilities. Some things just
become obsolete and while I love chess if it is time to make it something
that it can be enjoyed at the hobby level without making it a profession
then let it be. I don't see all this fuss about making sure nobody cheats.
I think it is pretty ridiculous.
Giovanni
