Does anyone know how the go world has been evolving since AlphaGo?
I wonder if people are looking for weaknesses or perhaps just ways to contribute, so that a human + AI could beat an AI playing alone.

Picture a brilliant but poor player. How would that person fare against someone who has a good AI to practice against?
Buying high end computer hardware is very cheap relative to the time required to become very good at go. Conversely, having a reasonably strong go program available on your mobile will mean there's more access to people to play and get analysis.
I would expect that AI makes it better for poor people. Previously, a non-poor person might take classes or have a tutor. Now, a poor person can have an AI analysis of each of their games if they want.
Indeed, the moves that a human would've overruled in the Lee Sedol tournament are the ones that vaulted AlphaGo to victory.
Lee is the real world's John Connor, the only man able to beat the machines.
