checkers program can't lose?

--

This  is  the  ultimate  cop out - and something that should show
once and for all that "AI" is an annoying misnomer.

The recend announcement that:

"the program no longer needs heuristics it has become a  database
of information that "knows" the best move to play in every situa-
tion of a game. If Chinook's opponent also  plays  perfectly  the
game would end in a draw. "

In  otherwords,  it  is  a database all of the moves in checkers.
Given any board state, the program can "search" to see  what  the
best  next  move  is.  This just shows me that AI is nothing more
than playing games with the amount of knowledge  you  have  -  in
other words, AI is simply about searching a lot of data.

God  knows  how  large  the chess database is - and "GO"? You can
forget it!
