Very interesting. It was only a matter of time for this to happen and I was anticipating it. I myself am a backgammon player and the reason why no one plays backgammon online for money anymore is because bots will crush even the best human players in the long run. Poker, of course, will encounter a similar fate.

That makes sense, I don’t know a lot about the inns and outs of backgammon. I would assume it comes down to analyzing and executing the perfect move for any given situation. Kind of in the way that a chess robot would work. I can see how parts could be programmed to be unstoppable But poker is a whole Other game.  The pot may be able to do the most optimal play, but you can’t Teach human emotion.

Interesting, but I guess it is the next frontier for it. Probably will next beat all casinos, since in online gambling there is really no "true random" because all numbers are actually just generated using a code that tries to simulate random numbers

I'm afraid this is not quite so. If you run an online casino, you can buy a hardware random number generator plugged into your USB port for as low as 50 dollars. It is a device that is capable of generating truly random numbers from physical stochastic processes such as photoelectric effect, thermal noise, whatever. I don't think you will be able to crack it because the numbers generated are not simulated, they are as random as the world around us.

Just like in the e-sport dota 2, a year ago they introduce "Open Ai" which was really good and beaten the top players of dota 2, but now that AI has been getting some smack in the ass because top player know the Ai`s potential, eventually the poker players will defeat that AI just like "black" "sumail" and other pro players who beat the AI.

Well, I don't really know much about Dota games. Are they shooters or what? But I don't think that it is possible to put the genie back into the bottle when it has already been released. You can now easily beat chess champions using common desktop computers, so how is poker different? Yeah, I know that it is in fact different because poker is an "imperfect-information" game as they call it, but the AI that beat poker champions was treating poker pretty much like chess. I mean no bluff, no hidden info.

This is indeed interesting however it won't do much in either the real physical casino or in any online casinos.

In online casinos you can't see bluffing or be able to bluff.

In a physical casino you can't use an AI to bet. You are allowed to card count only without the help of electronics. However using an AI is impossible to do without getting caught.

Many people had spotters before which had a small laptop or tablet or phone that they used to determine a strategy and they all got caught by casinos cameras.

So Las Vegas has nothing to worry about.

I tend to disagree. Along with the AI technologies the technologies which make use of them are also being developed. As I see it, in the future, and not so distant future I suspect, it will be possible to extend your capabilities and expand your intelligence directly by using brain implants.  Yeah, I know it sounds a bit scary, but there is no other way we are going to beat the machines apart from implementing the same technology on ourselves. Evidently, people who will be the first will try to monetize their competitive advantage, and casinos will likely be the places where these new "improved" people are going to show up.

[kryptqnick]

I've never heard of any of these professionals, I want to see it beat Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan.

Yeah, those players are sort of good, but they are not the top players, so maybe not everything's lost.
I think it is not very nice, that people keep creating AI which will beat people in games. AI development is a good project, but I think it should be concentrated more on other things, such as adaptation for people's social needs, exploration of human consciousness and stuff like that. People need games as a part of their life. Game presupposes that one can't always win, for thus the game makes no sense and doesn't really make people feel better. As a person can't always win, AI doesn't become cleverer when it does, it remains being a cold machine that doesn't understand human experience.

[paolo099]

wow, this is amazingly scary to see, where many human things are involved in real life poker games.
Ai is getting stronger and stronger every day and working in a company where the AI is being developed and used for human needs like medical field, cancer researches, rare sickness and so on, it's good to see the versatility and usefulness of machines either way.

Dota 2 is a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena Video Games) , anyways well i think that those poker player were just amazed on having am AI to compete with, AI`s are able to beaten on large numbers of game even on gambling and poker is no excuse, let them play for over a year so that poker players (champions) can fell more on what its like playing with an AI.

[hurremshaikh295]

AI in poker cant beat pros on the long run just because poker is a range game and ranges can be fooled therefore AI gets caught, a godo bot should learn from the villain mistakes to make them lose more money with each mistake

If so, why the pros couldn't beat the AI in the games they played?

It was a 20 day competition with a prize pool of $200,000, surely not something to sneeze at. The players tried to change their strategy but to no avail. Indeed, over a longer course, some weaknesses will be discovered in the playing patterns of Libratus which could ultimately lead to its defeat. But there is nothing that prevents it from evolving. Right now, for example, top chess players don't stand a chance against the best chess programs out there, so why poker, and especially online poker, should be different?

[mrproblem]

You know in chess all cards are open so it is difficult than poker. AI already solved issue in chess so pokes is easier and funny one for AI

[BTC_Spin]

But who are these guys? Let that machine meet STEPHEN CHIDWICK or Daniel Negreanu with all the skills these guys have!

[LuanX3]

I do think that one day AIs will be extremely smart to even outwit any human player. The thing is, AIs are mechanical and they can do almost anything that would be better than a human since they commit less error. Maybe one day the world will be ruled by robots and it could lead to those scifi movies about robots in the future we all know and love (Matrix, iRobot, Terminator, etc).

[tokeweed]

I'm pretty sure those guys are much better than your Stephen Chidwick and the overrated Daniel Negreanu.  The latter I know for sure made bank before the internet generation of poker players.  Games were passive back then and almost devoid of 3 betting and for betting in both NLHE and PLO.  I doubt he can build a bankroll on Stars if he started at the micros.

So in artificial intelligence being so good at chess and now poker.
Does this mean that the house can always win?

If that is so then what is the point in playing against them online in a poker match.

Cause you know the outcome will always be the same
They will win 100% of the time and you are just wasting your money in playing an AI opponent.

That is the future we are signed up for, where robots rule everything because they are faster and smarter. Maybe it will help make people begin to get smarter too.

This will obviously hurt online poker.  If people are playing in person, you know they aren't an AI.  Online someone could have an AI open on their computer and beat the human players over time.

That is the case even know ? Don't you think ? Why do you think the real poker players stay away from online communities or only join rooms which support live poker ? Is is not now,even the chess playing bots are better at stuff than humans which are in the games before the AI.

I think this will give birth to a chain based system where you will have programmable AI bots which play against each other.Machines vs Machines,you are both even know.
