I have to say that as a once professionally aspiring Go player, the advances of AI have been incredible.<p>When I started playing Go, it took me about 4 months to beat the stronger available computer AI. Today, the strongest computers would be a challenge to play against evenly.<p>However, even after all the patterns and montecarlo solutions, they still fumble the initial stage of the game. As a Go player, I look forward to AI&#x27;s that beat humans in that stage of the game, because at that point, we will be able to learn from them.<p>Until then, their victories are purely computational, and they are not even interesting to play with.
