Correct. It played like a top level human player, pretty evenly matched with Lee Sedol. AlphaGo from yesterday would have wiped the floor with AlphaGo from 6 months ago.

Various commentators mentioned how both players, human and synthetic, made a few mistakes. Even I caught a slow move made by the AI. So whether Lee Sedol was at the top of his peformance, or not, is a bit of a debate. But the AI was clearly on the same level, whatever that means.

It was an intense fight throughout the game, with both players making bold moves and taking risks. Fantastic show.



The AI only cares about winning, not about winning by a huge margin.

The slow move might just mean that this was sufficiently big and safer.


Is there any evidence that Sedol was anywhere close to winning?
