It turns out that a brilliant human player can still be competitive against a high powered computer program. Which I guess is nice :)

We're not totally obsolete just yet, yay!

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

I doubt we'll become completely obsolete - the AIs will probably decide that humans are fun things to have around the place.

I mean, as a species I think we like seeing how far we can push ourselves - the 100m sprint didn't become obsolete after the invention of the sports car, for example.

Actually, they've already stated that this is their intention, to keep us in a "people zoo".

I'm thinking more of the Minds in Iain Banks' Culture - I got the impression that they could have got on perfectly well without the humans, but they kept them around because it made life more interesting. Maybe pets rather than a zoo?
