Eh. It depends on the rule set - go has many sets of rules, all very similar and developed in different countries and for different tournaments. In most of them, KataGo not only thinks it's won the example game, it HAS won the example game. I'm disappointed with arstechnica for not pointing this out (even if it's true, as I expect it is, that this case study has implications for adversarial strategies in other contexts).
- spindle 4y agoMoreover, I think (and have done a quick check to try to confirm, although I haven't checked thorougly) that KataGo has won the example game even in the rule set it was trained with, which was Chinese rules. See https://senseis.xmp.net/?ChineseRules https://senseis.xmp.net/?ChineseRules, which says "Life and death settled by: Game resumption for online play. Adjudicated by tournament moderator for over the board play." - *either* game resumption or any tournament moderator would count the lone black stones as captured, without loss of points for white.
