Did we forget about chess?

They make that point in the article, and say the distinction is that unlike chess, or Alpha Go, this involved a real world 3D environment.

Ugh, I can't believe you wanted me to read the article and not just shotgun a comment.
Lol, but I get it. Plus, is a computer program considered AI anyway? Please don't tell me the article mentioned that too.

Is chess a sport?

Is flying a remote controlled vehicle?

Probably more so than chess? I’m not trying to gatekeep, but words do have meaning. Flying a drone requires some degree of precision and reflex, which are typically the domain of sport.
