Much of human creativity is likely linked to some sort of Bayesian analysis, but it also can happen based on limited sample sets and unseen situations. As you point out, the Alpha Go likely just saw that scenario out of millions of random scenarios never explored by humans before. Given the enormous compute resources used, it's possible AlphaGo has made more Go moves than all of humanity ever combined.
Reminds me of a quip about Richard Feynman that he'd spend many hours honing a new way of doing a physics problem, but carefully present it as if he just did it off handed. So we just need to link human brains with cybernetic implants to compete. ;)
