The thing is, our approaches to this are like the average player of Go or Chess. Even the most seasoned dealmaking pro is like a grandmaster in Chess or Go. In short - a computer network that's been doing simulated scenarios for trillions of iterations will eventually hit upon dealmaking strategies where we aren't even sure why they work! We will just have computers negotiate with one another about everying because their arguments will match or outperform any human.

Imagine a chatbot who can chat up a girl online better than any human. Whose jokes make any human seel dull by comparison. And whose wit is quick to about 1 trillion jokes a second :-P
