Even though I know the game of Go will carry on [after AI] just like chess has all these years, I can’t help feeling sad for how we will never experience some things the same way ever again.
The greatest story of a player post-AI won’t be overwhelming victories like Go Seigen’s jubango. It will be someone who can come close to defeating an AI.
Even though I know that the game of Go will continue on, but still, I mourn for the version of Go that I loved and once knew, which will never exist again.
Someone, I forgot who, pointed out recently that games are less fun once they’re “solved” or sufficiently optimised. Tic-tac-toe is a trivial example, but even something like go or chess feel smaller, even if they’re complex enough that games between humans remain interesting. I don’t know go well enough to say how it’s changed, but I understand the author’s and Lee Sedol’s feeling here.
