Muller, it's not quite that simple. Human brains can still do things that
computers cannot. That's why humans continued to be able to beat chess
programs for many many many years after the raw speed and calculating power
of the computer vastly exceeded that of the human brain. Those days have
passed, but the computer still depends for its success on that (now
increased) raw calculating power, and it might still in theory be possible
to construct a game that more significantly rewards natural human strategic
thinking, while granting a much lesser benefit to the raw calculating power
of the computer. Human skill, unlike that of the computer, has never depended on the ability to precisely anticipate millions and billions of positions.
