Smash bros shouldn't be too hard. Reflexes alone would give the CPU an enormous advantage.

also important to note they made the players play thousands of hands over weeks and many said how they played in a way to shorten the time they had to play. thereby not necessarily showing their "true" skill.

Wonder how long it will be until there is a crowdsourced AI winning the World Series of Poker?

Honestly, this doesn't look to be a true test of who is better at poker. Poker is not like chess - a lot of emotions are involved in reading another players' cues (if he is touching his face, whether he is talking nervously, how quickly does he call all in etc.). Making all this computerized seems to take the spirit of poker away. It is like playing online poker which is an entirely different ball game vs. real poker…

Physical tells are almost entirely Hollywood nonsense. When a professional player talks about getting a read on someone, they are talking about probabilities combined with the opponent's position at the table and a history (even a short history) of that player's betting/play patterns.

I believe we are witnessing the Cambrian explosion of intelligences. The techniques behind Libratus (abstraction algorithm and game theory [1]) appear to be qualitatively distinct from those behind AlphaGo (deep reinforcement learning and MCMC) and DeepBlue (search and heuristics). An ecology of Artificial Intelligences, unbounded by our evolutionary history and neural architecture, could evolve to suit each particul…
