> When you read Go strategy resources, you see a lot of things divided into what best practices were before AlphaGo and what they are now. It's a whole big thing. Yes and no. The biggest takeaway from AI is that learning all the joseki doesn't actually matter that much, which has freed up players (except for the pros) to spend more of their time focusing on the more fun and interesting parts of the game. There are a lot of videos showing what josekis and strategies the AI recommends, but as a human you're likely not going to be any better off following them. This is for the same reason why AI analysis of fights is largely useless. That is, the reason why you lost the big fight (and the game) isn't that you didn't find that one obscure 9P move that could have saved you, but rather than you let yourself get cut 50 moves earlier. But the AI will never show you the move where you got cut as being the reason why you lost the game, it will only show you the one random move that you'd never in a million years actually be able to find.
