Artificial intelligence can do a lot of things…but winning a crossword puzzle contest isn’t one of them. The Guardian recently hosted their own crossword puzzle-solving competition featuring an AI contestant (represented as a “coffee-drinking dog named Ross), and a few human competitors. Ross is also the AI presence on the Crossword Genius smartphone app. At the end of the competition the human reigned supreme, as Ross ended up giving up and submitting an incomplete grid, succumbing to challenging and cryptic puzzle clues.
