One quick nitpick on your well written and helpful article: it's easily conceivable that Lee Sedol has reviewed on the order of 100k games. I think your general point stands, AI learns slowly in terms of number of iterations (consider how many times a five year old needs to be told the pronunciation of an unusual word or what emotion a certain tone conveys vs training a neural net).

> it's easily conceivable that Lee Sedol has reviewed on the order of 100k games. ...but highly unlikely. In the best case, that works out to something like reviewing 10 new games every single day. If a game takes 1 hour to properly review, and a person needs 8 hours of sleep, that leaves just 6 hours in a day to eat, manage hygiene, exercise, be with family, travel to competitions, play yourself and do all kinds of other studies you need to.

  Okay, fair enough -- but it's definitely not 10k games. Asian pros work very, very hard. It's like any sport; time spent matters, and the best players put in a lot of time.

    It's probably not 10k, but it's on the order of 10k, i.e. somewhere between 10,000 and 99,999.
