Lol. This a pointless comment to the people interested, but I'm so amused with my stupidity I had to share.

I opened this thread with absolutely no thought about the _game_ Go, and read the top comment about how chess changed in the last 10-20 years thinking it was tangentially related because of Watson and whatnot playing AI chess.

I came here thinking I was going to read comments about how the Go language has been impacted with the introduction of ML and AI packages that attract data science types from Python and R. I thought it would be interesting to see how a newer/smaller language was impacted by a group co-opting the the development and platform.

Whoops.
