The claim about AI having a deep understanding of Go comes from top tier Go players

"After humanity spent thousands of years improving our tactics, computers tell us that humans are completely wrong... I would go as far as to say not a single human has touched the edge of the truth of Go." - Ke Jie, the number #1 Go player in the world at the time, speaking after his loss to an AI

I'm not hearing Ke Jie saying computers understand Go. I'm hearing Ke Jie saying that machine enhancement of Go playing has shown there is very much more to the game of Go than we realized.

To me it is like the invention of the microscope and how it showed there was a whole world of microbes we didn't know about, but no one says microscopes understand microbes.
