Computers can't pass humans in GO

I started playing computers in backgammon in the 80s, and later a plug in electronic computerized version of chess called "Chess Challenge 3". In those days I copped a fair share of wins.. Now it is much different story, now computers like Deep Blue beat the world champion with realitive ease. Computers on ICC are dominant over all but worlds best players in a variety of versions of chess. IEEE SPectrum this month had an article about computers cannot beat champion "Go" players.

Humans still rule "GO".........for now.

An amazingly powerful and fast computer is only as good as the human that programmed it.

Full AI like you see in the movies won't be a reality for quite some time yet.

I think we will probably see cyborgs, where the human mind is connected to different mechanical components to improve aspects of the mind. For example, give perfect memory and stuff like that.

Even though I feel that it will only be used for wars and hurting people...
