If I understood correctly. In the first 10 matches AlphaStar can see the whole map in detail (not just the mini map) at the same time. The humans can only see their camera's view. In the 11th match the AlphaStar can only see via a camera view as well. It has to move the camera the way a human would to see other parts of the map in detail. The 11th game was a fairer test. This, along with the documentary of the human go players vs the deep mind AI, seems to indicate we are entering an interesting time. The humans start out cocky, then gradually concede the high ground of whatever skill is supposed to be our exclusive domain. I think we will make it through to some new way of living with very capable machines. But, to transition there we are going to have some rough years. Just watching the Star Craft player's fingers flying at the end of the movie makes my carpal tunnel wrists ache. It reminds me of the folklore about "John Henry" trying to keep up with rail laying machine. TL/DR: In the story he beats it for a while, then falls over dead from the Herculean effort required to do so.
