> Lee Sedol managed to win game 4 by a lucky break
Move 78 was not a lucky break. At least in my mind.
There are not many movies I cried to, in this movie I cried twice, once when Lee Sedol was apologizing for the loss, and once when he made move 78 and Alpha Go's probability to win dropped with 10%.
Now for me move-78 means hope.

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but since then, we have had significantly better algorithms than AlphaGO, and much more compute.
Unless humanity moves to a point where the average skill is that of Lee, and the average intelligence is akin to JvN's I don't see hope for humanity.
Computers are still bad at something as basic for humans as driving, so i'd say there's still hope.
Although I always wonder if give that the software was designed in a way to allow the computer to make mistakes and take risks to a reasonable amount, like humans do, would they still be crappy drivers?

this movie got me very emotional aswell, which is not common particularly for docs
I'd love to know which professional make that comment, so if you don't mind, can you please look it up?
The move in question should be move 102, which is an invasion that human would not try.

I'm having trouble finding my notes on the match, but after looking again on youtube, I'm pretty sure the professional was Myungwan Kim.
As we know, Lee Sedol managed to win game 4 by a lucky break, but lost the rest, so the GM's comments were incredibly perceptive. I took a few notes while watching so I may be able to dig them up and check the details, but the surprising play became quite well-known and involved something called a "dog's head" formation, which might be enough for Go aficionados to identify it.
