Planning to Visit the Philippines Soon?

There are hundreds of tourists attractions in the Philippines. But as a lover of the Island of Marinduque (Home of the Morions and Heart of the Philippines), I am indeed partial to its beauty, charm and its friendly and hospitable residents. Therefore, help me achieve my dream of seeing this island becomes a world tourist destination, by telling all your friends and relatives about this site. Welcome, to you all, new readers and faithful followers of this site! The photo above is Poctoy White Beach in Torrijos, Marinduque with beautiful and majestic Mt Malindig in the background. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on infringing your copyrights.

Artificial Intelligence and Your Bridge Game

If you are a Bridge Player, Read This! If Not You don't have too. Anyway, Have a Good Day!

I found this article recently in my BBO E-mail box. I am excited to share it with my Bridge Friends Here at THD as well as all the Bridge Player in the World. At the bottom of the page is my posting why playing bridge is good for your brain and mental stimulation. 💚


 

Greetings, fellow enthusiasts of all things bridge. In the ongoing saga of AI versus human intellect, we've seen our silicon adversaries conquer chess grandmasters with the cold precision of a robotic guillotine. Yet, there's one game where the human spirit still holds strong against the binary onslaught: bridge.

Bridge is one of the last games in which the computer is not better.

Yes, you heard that right - AI hasn't quite cracked the code of this intricate game of incomplete information and subtle cooperation.

 

While supercomputers can churn through more permutations than there are atoms in the universe, bridge remains a realm where human intuition, communication, and the occasional bluff still reign supreme. Our brains, honed by millennia of evolution and countless social interactions (and maybe a few family dinners), excel at interpreting subtle facial cues, deciphering body language, and navigating the complex dance of partnership.

 

But wait a moment - before you start crafting statues in honor of human superiority, there's a twist in the tale. Recently, AI managed to steal a few wins against bridge champions - not in a direct head-to-head game, though.

 

So, what's the verdict? Can AI snatch the crown of bridge mastery from our unsuspecting hands? Will the next world bridge champion be a series of algorithms in a trench coat pretending to be human?

 

Maybe. But for now, let's revel in the fact that we still hold the cards! Our ability to strategize, empathize, and bluff keeps us at the forefront of this timeless game.

 

Until the next deal is shuffled and the next algorithm devised, let's keep playing, keep strategizing, and keep enjoying the unique blend of logic and creativity that makes bridge - and our human experience - so wonderfully unpredictable.

 

Here's to keeping AI on its toes and humans on their best game!
