OpenAI bot crushes top players at Dota 2 tournament

Some of the most revolutionary advances in artificial intelligence are coming from the world of video games. The OpenAI team, supported by tech maven Elon Musk, showcased an AI bot at a tournament in Seattle that decisively beat several of the world's best Dota 2 players in one-on-one matches. The stunning upset over pro gamer and crowd favorite Danylo "Dendi" Isutin was broadcast live from the stage at The International, a $24 million Dota 2 tournament backed by Valve. In the first match, the machine-learning algorithm defeated Dendi in ten minutes. Dendi then resigned from the second match, and declined a third.
