## What Jamie wrote

I [tracked](https://www.thingelstad.com/2016/03/09/034041.html) when Lee Sedol played these historic games against AlphaGo, and [ultimately lost](https://www.thingelstad.com/2016/03/12/alphago-machines-have.html). 

> After those matches, Go became even more popular in Korea. And AlphaGo itself has now completely changed how we set game records by setting the bar higher. Teaching Go in an AI era looks very different from the pre-AlphaGo world, because students can learn far more by studying games that have been played by AI.

How wild is it that students of Go can learn better by watching the AI play than a grandmaster.
