And the more interesting note - it gained a three stone handicap of skill with 1 year of practice. If they were to continue at it should we expect a 3 stone improvement in skill every year? Maybe they made some major leaps this time and future changes aren't as large. So a 3 stone improvement every two years. It doesn't take long until the Go being played is fundamentally a different game than what we play. Even if it's on the same board with same rules. What does it look like when Go still isn't solved, but AI is 20 stones better than the best humans? At that point we can no longer even tangibly measure its brilliance. Only ask it to compare its brilliance to other brilliant AIs. What will that even look like through out eyes? What will like look like when an AI is 20 stones better than us at war games? I assume next step for AlphaGo is a real time strategy game like Starcraft, or some other game with incomplete information. 3-5 years from now when mastered it'll be hard to persuade people not to use it in the real world.
