> 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?
