Professional gamer 'Faker' Lee Sang-hyeok and 9-dan Lee Sedol appear on 'Son Seok-hee's Questions.'
On the 6th, MBC's 'Son Seok-hee's Questions' announced the appearances of Lee Sang-hyeok and Lee Sedol. As a result, a rare edition of a talk show that discusses games, go and AI simultaneously is expected to be born.
Earlier, U.S. businessman Elon Musk's side publicly offered 'Faker' Lee Sang-hyeok a challenge against Grok5. In response, 'Faker' replied, We are ready, R U? He actually answered, We are ready, R U?. It has not yet been decided when or in what format their match will take place, but considering that 'Faker' Lee Sang-hyeok is a living legend of a meticulous and composed professional gamer far from bluster, it is now Elon Musk's turn to answer.
On 'Questions,' Lee Sang-hyeok said the game has a very complex structure implemented in 3D, so he believes Grok5 is probably not yet fully prepared, and added, It will be a very interesting game and I am looking forward to it. Regarding this, Lee Sedol, who 10 years ago lost to AlphaGo 4-1 contrary to initial expectations, said, Unless you limit certain conditions for Grok5, it probably won't be easy even for Lee Sang-hyeok, but he also encouraged, Still, go and games are completely different so I think there could be a chance of winning.
Lee Sedol said, Until 2021 I personally played against AI again. Although I won when giving it two moves, I absolutely could not win in a head-to-head match. After that I stopped playing go, and he also confessed, It is also true that the one game I barely won in 2016 was possible by using a trick once.
Lee Sang-hyeok said he believed that intuition unique to humans is something AI cannot follow, expressing anticipation for the match with Grok5. In fact, when asking AI about its curiosities regarding a match with Lee Sang-hyeok, most of the questions that come up are about 'intuition.' That is also why interest in a match between 'Faker' Lee Sang-hyeok and 'Grok5' is greater than ever. It is also striking that both go and League of Legends, the representative brain games, have been challenged or are being challenged by AI, and that their opponents are all Korean.
Lee Sedol turned professional at 12, dominated the world an astonishing 14 times, and set a remarkable record of being promoted from 3-dan to 9-dan in only five months. Lee Sang-hyeok, under the nickname 'Faker,' is literally a living legend in the most popular game, League of Legends, holding the records for youngest, oldest and most championships. There is even a "dedication exhibition hall" for him, to the point that fans performed a so-called "surprise worship" ritual. Their joint appearance is drawing attention in itself. It will air at 9 p.m. on Wednesday the 8th. <
