I never suggested it's overhyped. I think the specific terms being used to compare it to humans are inaccurate. On a related note, AlphaZero used quite a lot of processing power - even with the optimizations, if it had to run on human hardware it would be pretty worthless.

> AlphaZero used quite a lot of processing power It ran on a single machine with four TPUs. In a few years with a few more optimizations, I can imagine an equal strength implementation on a handheld chess computer. If you're talking about training hardware, the correct comparison is against the processing time used by all serious human chess players through history because an apples to apples comparison would have both training from scratch (just the rules).
