Answers.Text: Thanks for pointing that out. I should have mentioned it it my question. But I wonder if a similar graph like the one I posted exists for Go where you can see estimations of many experts.

  Due to the complexity of Go, some experts assumed, that no computer ever could be better in Go than a human being due to the lack of *intuition*. This shows that the appearance of human level AI can be unpredictable.
  
  Does anyone know if a similar graph for Go exists to see how good or bad the predictions were? This could give a very rough idea, how good this graph predicts the future of human-level AI.
