Sweet, but it's strange a slow human brain can solve this even when we have super computers and the like working on the problem for many years. What's so special about our brains?
Here is a specific example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(game)#Computers_and_Go
They've made a bit of progress with Go, putting in heuristics and strategies specific to Go. But it basically amounts to translating human intelligence into code, or what researchers refer to as "domain knowledge".
Surely, machines are orders of magnitude faster than humans, for certain things. Just not all.
