Thank you! At present, computer go programs may be strong relative to each
other, and they may actually beat some humans of moderate ability, especially
at timescales too quick for amateur humans, but most programs also have
high-kyu-sized gaps in their knowledge, including seki and nakade concepts.
We won't see programs regularly beating pros until those gaps are filled.
Substituting billions of playouts for a life-or-death or seki analysis which 10
kyu players can manage in seconds is inefficient; computers could be doing
something more effective with that time.
