Chapter 573: Chapter 373: From Starting as a Loser to the End_2

In his eyes, the domestic Go AIs, including those from East Asia and Europa, posed little to no threat to them.

The only remaining opponent... was AlphaGo!

This Go AI from Google was like a mountain looming over all the practitioners.

It didn’t even deign to participate in the so-called "World AI Go Competition," but no one in the industry could ignore its presence...

Its shadow grew rare in the rivers and lakes of Go, yet its legend was spoken of everywhere to this day...

This dog had the domineering air of one who does not take to the world stage lightly, challenging all contenders.

Director Liu was ambitious, and he had considerable confidence in the "Art of the Absolute" that he’d developed!

He had made up his mind that as soon as he won the AI competition, he would challenge AlphaGo!

Only by defeating this dog would "Art of the Absolute" truly stand towering, overseeing all!

"Director, please have a look at this news."

Just as he was full of grand aspirations to step on the dog’s head in the future, his assistant suddenly approached with a pad in hand.

Director Liu took the tablet, sliding through the news with curiosity before his brow furrowed slightly.

"Star Array? There is such a Go software in the country?"

"I did some research, and this software is made by a small company called Cretaceous, which was not well-known before.

It only became popular suddenly by riding on the heat of the battle between Kong, a ninth-dan professional, and Li Shi Buddha.

But that’s not the key point, the key is what Kong, the ninth-dan, said in an interview, comparing Star Array with our ’Art of the Absolute’s training and design level.

I’m afraid this might cast a negative light on us..."

Director Liu watched the interview video with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Art of the Absolute" had just become the official training AI of the Go community, yet there was a ninth-dan Go professional endorsing another Go AI...

How much was spent on public relations?

Wasn’t this a slap in their face?

You want to become famous, that’s not your fault, but stepping on our "Art of the Absolute" as a stepping stone, that’s unacceptable!

He didn’t believe that a third-rate product from a third-rate company could surpass his AI development team, which was a collective of the nation’s elites, in the design of training intelligence!

This Kong must be a paid poster!

Look at the hottest comments online... a Go AI that is especially good at arguing?

It’s completely upside-down and pandering for attention!

How is this any different from those scandalous fakes that draw eyes purely for traffic?

However, his dissatisfaction lasted only for a moment. Seeing that the buzz about "Star Array" was still rising, the astute Director Liu suddenly had an idea.

He operated the laptop in front of him, opening up the participant list for the "World AI Go Competition."

And sure enough, at the very end of the list, he found the name "Star Array!"

"Heh!" Director Liu immediately smirked, revealing a smile.

"It’s not a bad thing at all, someone is helping us increase our popularity for free; that’s a good thing indeed!"

"Director Liu, you mean..." the assistant was somewhat puzzled.

"Heh! Today’s match rules require each opponent to have played at least once.

After several rounds of elimination, the higher the win rate, the higher the probability of the two sides facing off, eventually ranking by points.

Imagine if a Go AI endorsed by a ninth-dan professional couldn’t even make it to the top eight and was clean-shaven by our ’Art of the Absolute’...

Wouldn’t this news... have even more topicality?"

Director Liu said with a meaningful smile.

"This... I understand! Director, this move is brilliant!" the assistant’s eyes lit up.

"This way, they are completely making the wedding dress for us! Once netizens see it’s just a tinpot front, the reputation will immediately flip!"

"Heh! The thing I hate the most is those so-called tech companies that don’t focus on technology and spend their days scheming crooked ways to inflate their own value!

Now, I do hope that this Star Array doesn’t get knocked out too soon.

Otherwise, it will be way too boring..."

Director Liu smiled slightly.

He could guess with his toes what kind of epic reversal the screenshots of the confrontation results would cause online.

As for Kong, that face... might be a bit painful...

"Director! The competition has started, the system is assigning us an opponent."

"Hmm! Who is our first opponent?" Director Liu asked calmly as he sipped his coffee.

"It’s Star Array!"

Director Liu was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.

What a coincidence? Enemies often cross each other’s paths!

"Haha! Good! Let’s see in what stance Star Array will lose from beginning to end!"

minutes later...

[DEFEAT!]

Looking at the gray word displayed on the big screen, the entire lab was eerily quiet.

A major upset!

In just ten minutes, their pride and joy "Art of the Absolute" had fallen before "Star Array"...

"How... how is this possible!" Director Liu was completely flabbergasted.

I, the number one seed of the championship!

Have I lost just like that?

And to a crowd-pleasing harlot?

Everyone else was looking at each other, dazed by the sheer shock.

"Technical problem! It must be a technical problem! Quick! Activate the second backup model immediately!" Director Liu shouted as if grasping for a lifeline.

"Yes, yes! It must be that parameter that was wrong! Change the model!"

During the next seven matches, "Art of the Absolute" finally played to its "normal level," proceeding to the next round with a record of all wins!
