David beats Go-liath - by Gary Marcus
In March 2016, to much fanfare, AlphaGo beat Go world champion Lee Sedol, convincingly, in a 5 game match, 4 to 1. Computers have only gotten faster since then; one might have thought that the matter was settled. And of course computers have only gotten faster ever since. And the human that won wasn't even a professional Go player, let along a World Champion, just a strong amateur named Kellin Pelrine. And the match wasn't even close; Pelrine beat a top AI system 14 games to 1, in a 15 match series. Almost seven years to the day after AlphaGo beat Sedol.
