   @cmhobbs He surely did, but AlphaGo was not afraid to fight, either. And it seems like AlphaGo has developed pretty strong whole-board view. One analyst was making the case that some of its earliest fighting moves fully anticipated the end game, and it only seemed to grow stronger as the board filled in. Maybe Lee can think of some novel strategy that AlphaGo is not yet prepared to answer, but after what we just saw, future prospects for human players don't look very promising. :-(

     Yeah, I'm torn about the issue. I'm more upset than I thought I would be. I like that computers could come up with moves unbound by human sentiments and that we could have strong computer analysis but I'm a fan of Lee and I also don't want Google to add this to their resume just because they bought an AI company and slapped their name on it.
