alt Hacker NewsI've wondered about the claim that the models played those Atari/2D video games at superhuman levels, because I clearly recall some humans achieving superhuman levels before models were capable of it. Must have been superhuman compared to average human player, not someone who spent an inordinate amount of time mastering the game.
I'm not sure why you think so. AI outperforms humans in many games already. Basically all the games we care to put money to train a model.
AI has beat the best human players in Chess, Go, Mahjong, Texas hold'em, Dota, Starcraft, etc. It would be really, really surprising that some Atari game is the holy grail of human performance that AI cannot beat.
