A List Of Games You Would Surely Lose to a Computer

# Stuff You Should Know Episode Summary

Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating history of man versus machine, starting with the mechanical Turk—an 18th-century chess-playing automaton that fooled European royalty (spoiler: there was a tiny person hiding inside). From there, they trace how machines have progressively conquered games of increasing complexity, from Deep Blue beating chess grandmaster Gary Kasparov in 1997 to Google's AlphaGo mastering the ancient game of Go against world champions. Special guest Jonathan Strickland joins them to explore how artificial intelligence has evolved from following rigid rules to teaching itself through machine learning, achieving remarkable feats like beating professional poker players and even designing entirely new games that humans never would have imagined.
