Coincidentally I was watching reviews of some games from AlphaZero vs. Stockfish 9 and people were amazed at the "human-like" nature of some of AlphaZero's decisions. It was seemingly sacrificing material with no obvious gain, only to come back much later in the game with a stronger strategic position. While Stockfish evaluates all possible moves it is limited by computation time and can't see too far into the future. AlphaZero responded much faster because it has already precomputed the expected probability of winning for most branches, so it can seemingly blunder when in fact it is following the path that led to victory most often.
