I met Garry Kasparov when he was training for the Desp Blue match (using Fritz).

He lost to Deep Blue and then for 10-15 years afterwards the chess world consoled itself with the idea that “centaurs” (human + computer) did better than just computer, or just human.

Until they didn’t. Garry still talked like this until a few years ago but then he stopped too.

Computers now beat centaurs too.

Human decisions will be consulted less and less BY ORGANIZATIONS. In absolutely everything. That’s pretty sad for humans. But then again humans don’t want or need this level of AI. Organizations do. Organizations prefer bots to humans — look at wall street trading and hedge funds.
