Reply to comment by horselover_f4t in [Discussion] If ML is based on data generated by humans, can it truly outperform humans? by groman434
The zero in alpha zero means it starts with no human knowledge. They figures out that this approach is eventually stronger than the base alpha go strategy.

But the person you responded to didn't talk about the zero variant. Maybe I misread the point of your post?

The person two comments up was talking about the zero version. Thread is about how AI can surpass humans and the point is they already can if they have a way to improve without human data

Still does not make sense to me as the person before was specifically talking about vanilla. But no point in arguing about any of that i guess.

Are you trolling me or something? YOU are the person I responded to. YOU brought up the vanilla version, in a response to someone else who was talking about the zero version. The zero version is most relevant here because it learns from scratch, without human knowledge.

... who responded to someone who talked about the vanilla version. In my first response to you, I did not realize you were not actually the person I responded to in the first place. Apparently you have not read what they responded to, which seems to be the reason you're missing the context.
I assume they must be laughing if they see us still talking about this.
