Programs and Computers have more knowledge and are better at some things than humans are. Even with out the DB vs Kasparov and DJ at Dartmouth examples, automation has replaced much human activity. Many people might be required to do the task or knowledge that a single program does many times with fewer mistakes. No shame here, people are better at some things and computers at others. Yes, humans do maintain and update the knowledge, but in many cases, the process and knowledge is in a program or data base that must be analyzed or learned by a human (that is something most of us are good at) before a change can be made. Many times, the only source of knowledge in a factory is in the program or it's data. Just my opinion and experience having worked many years in an automated industry and creating automation. Or do you have a Ph. D in psychology? I hope other experiences with the human existance are allowed and there is room for more than one view. :) Best Regards, Chris Carson > > > >> >>Humans cannot remmeber many numbers to calculate the evaluation of the position. >>The advnatage of humans is tha ability to use selective search and the ability >>to learn from search to change their evaluation and not more complicated >>evaluation function. > >And the ability to do _many_ things in parallel while making an intuitive >decision. > > > > > >> >>Uri
