[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 258925, member: 1036"] Re: being coached by a supercomputer... Wouldn't be awesome at all... I wouldn't want to watch two teams coached by computers playing each other any more than two computers playing each other at chess. Part of what makes the game exciting (and infuriating at times) is the human element. Witness today's game as case in point in infuriating! But even if the computer makes the 'right' call, if the play doesn't work out, the fans will still say it is the wrong play and the computer messed up... Unless we've grown so trusting of technology that we no longer question it anymore, as may be the case given the growing acceptance of a future with driverless cars! Technology is okay as a tool, but when it controls us to the point we've become its servant and can't think or create without it, then what good is it? Of all the technological advances humanity has made over the years, AI has the potential of being the most dangerous and insidious. Ultimately, it will destroy our ability to think, making us easier to manipulate. Many question the veracity of the moon landings precisely for that very reason. Most of the original technicians at Mission Control had nothing beyond a bachelor's degree, but were very intelligent combined with a lot of common sense (critical thinking skills). The guy most credited with saving the Apollo 13 mission was planning to be a cattle rancher before sending in his resume to NASA. It's difficult for many of today's youth to imagine technological breakthroughs occurring without the use of smart technology. [/QUOTE]
