It's bizarrely "hip" or "woke" or whatever right now to anthropomorphize "AI". "AI" is light years away from being anything more than a tool. AI doesn't "play Go" in my view as much as people play go, via AI. Is it really shocking we've built a tool that we can use to play Go better than somebody without said tool?

If Lee Sedol says "Okay AlphaGo, let's play!" and sits down at a board what happens? Nothing happens! AlphaGo has no agency. AlphaGo is an extension of human agency. AlphaGo isn't better than humans at Go. Humans with AlphaGo are better at Go than humans without AlphaGo.
