#4 I thought it would be an easy victory
I ... ended up only winning one out of our five games
I think we are in a similar situation in multiple professions today. For example with self-driving.
Musk recently said, that other car manufacturers are not much interested in talks about licensing FSD because they don't think it can work.
In ten years, probably no human can compete with AI drivers anymore.

#5> Go is a deeply complex strategic game — famously far more complicated than chess, with 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible board configurations.
The correct number of legal Go positions is over twice as much, or to be exact [1]:
208168199381979984699478633344862770286522453884530548425639456820927419612738015378525648451698519643907259916015628128546089888314427129715319317557736620397247064840935
Indeed far larger than the ~ 4.8 x 10^44 legal chess positions [2], that is in between the number of legal 9x9 and 10x10 Go positions.

That's what they said 10 years ago. Sooner or later people will say it and be right, but the last few percent of any problem is a lot harder than people give it credit for. It may not be that hard to stay in a lane or write a little code, and that may look like it's doing most of the job, but those common tasks are just the easy part.

10 years ago, a lot of FSD was still manually written code. Manually written code gets harder and harder to improve, the larger the codebase.
Now it is all NNs and therefore will scale with more data and more compute. Which is increasing exponentially. So far it seems like they are not hitting diminishing returns.
