I immediately thought of one of Clarke's "laws": Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

I'm not optimistic about us primitive non-cybernetic intelligences ever really following AIs much beyond the base camp in their ascension to some (Go) ultimate peak. Maybe Lem, disguised with humor, foretold our future.

Master uses Heuristics, Bayesian Statistics and other failable methods. That means it's virtually unavoidable that he loses to humans given enough games. I even this AG Zero is beatable, given enough time to study, but Deepmind is not interested in that.
