You're creating a false dichotomy. AlphaGo plays both oddly (definition: "in a way that is different from what is usual or expected") and better.

The real point that I think hacker_9 missed is that AlphaGo was not trying to play like a human, it was trying to play better. If it tried to play like a human, it's quite likely that it would be indistinguishable.

In the latest matches, though, you'll find that some of the odd things that AlphaGo did ends up being adopted by the Go community. So are we now playing oddly, or did AlphaGo simply teach us?
