I'd be curious to see your debunking or at least a quick summary?

They showed that brute force works on another board game. That’s all.

how cleverly do you have to go about applying force before it ceases to be brute?

Was AlphaGo's success solely a function of compute resources/time or were those resources used especially well?

Isn’t the supposedly exciting thing about AlphaZero (and, to a lesser extent AlphaGo) that they *don’t* rely on human cleverness?

No one's expecting cleverness to be unnecessary to *build* the thing...

If AlphaGo were presented as an incremental engineering result in function approximation methods, no one would have been interested. The hype is that it’s a breakthrough in modeling human intuition.

I've literally never heard anyone claim it's modelling human intuition... But I've no claim to a representative bubble.

The "hype" around it is that it solved a problem many thought impossible or to require far more resources. It did that.

I can’t say this without being a bit rude… board-playing software was an uninteresting backwater. The opinion of people in that field was wrong. They were not the best & brightest, so this is not significant.

That's the real interesting claim here, then.
