When the monthly exam results were posted, Experimental Middle School was thrown into an uproar.
A total score of 748, nearly perfect marks in every subject. The student’s name was Jiang Huai.
He was a transfer student from a small town, whose file listed him as “average.”
The teachers suspected him of cheating and gave him a test on the spot.
The whole class was stunned.
But that was only the beginning.
After school, Shiguang dragged this newly crowned “academic god” to the Black and White Go Club.
…
But after eighty-nine moves, Uncle Wu pushed the board away and admitted defeat.
The club was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Only a figure in white, as pure as snow, sat in the corner. His folding fan snapped shut in his hand as he murmured to himself:
“Such decisive sacrifices… There’s a kind of purity in this game that shouldn’t be there.”
From that day on, Jiang Huai’s name spread throughout Fangyuan City’s Go circles.
He Jia Jia couldn’t accept it and challenged him, only for Jiang Huai to school him with seven different openings, one after another.
Yue Zhi showed up with professional game records to challenge him, but Jiang Huai’s even more professional composure made him so frustrated that he threw the stones.
Hong He wanted to learn his calculations. Jiang Huai casually drew up a “Quick Reference Table for Endgame Values,” but Hong He couldn’t make sense of it even after three days.
Everyone thought he was just a Go prodigy with extraordinary calculating power.
Until
--
He wielded AlphaGo’s “vessel” as he faced the world.
He bore the “weight” of Go’s thousand-year spirit as he questioned the heavens.
And in the end, he would have to answer this: When cold AI data learns the warmth of humanity, and the loophole that brought him across time becomes an anchor in history,
was he human, AI, or… both and neither, a third kind of existence?
It's pretty good. I watched it while skipping, but the parts I watched were pretty good. I personally think it's okay. It feels like it has nothing to do with Go anymore. I just want to watch pure Go. Everything is done for you here.
This novel is more like a story about a person's transformation from a "robot" to a human being.
It's not a cool article, it's like the transformation of AI into human beings, overall it's okay
I think it looks pretty good, but there are a lot of elements, and so are the private designs (this should be what I mean) It's so hard, it's really hard... I almost finished it, but I don't want to, but I almost finished it
