Ok, I made an unnecessary leap from knowing that many people do feel threatened by the increasing problem solving abilities of computers to assuming you are one of them. so I stand corrected, and in light of your response understand that my sermon was misplaced in this context. I don't disagree with you at all. In fact, I think probably we're headed for the same improvements over time with machines playing Go as was with machines playing Chess. I think that in addition to better algorithms, Chess had the advantage of having Moore's law being in full swing over these years, which will probably slow down, but there's always something new and unexpected coming up, so beyond multiple processors and GPU's with lower energy consumption I'm sure there will be even further improvements in the machine learning methods and other things that I can't yet imagine.
