Brains vs Artificial Intelligence: AI smashes humanity yet again

Update: Last time AI took on humans at poker, the flesh-and-blood brigade won comfortably. Libratus has won $1,766,250 worth of chips at no-limit Texas Hold'em, knocking the stuffing out of its four human opponents in the process. "Yeah, this was a beat-down," was all human opponent Jimmy Chou could say after finishing his 30,000th hand on Monday. Libratus' co-creator, PhD student Noam Brown, was delighted with the AI's performance, telling The Guardian, "When I see the bot bluff the humans, I'm like, 'I didn't tell it to do that. I had no idea it was even capable of doing that.' It's satisfying to know I created something that can do that."
