I'm not downvoting you but this is against every evidence based on ELO ratings and all the history of human-human, computer-computer and human-computer games: Carlsen is going to lose against my phone and probably every future human will.

Let's wait until the end of May but maybe we're already at that point with go as well.

(We don't know yet if I can win a running race against a Ferrari, still I'm pretty sure about the outcome.)

I guess for go it depends more if they bothered to train AlphaGo sufficiently before the match. If it has been training at the same level as before it is probably well beyond human reach.
