Is Go finished by ai?

In the era without AI, Go has no standard answer.

The appearance of AI Go is like a game meeting invincible boss, and it is difficult to break through this ceiling anyway. Playing Go can be replaced by algorithms, which loses creativity and fun. AI weiqi defeated the top human players, leaving weiqi only entertaining.

The value of thinking training, but the realm of Go and the mental journey of the game between players have been lost and become boring. The most common sentence on the Internet is, "Computers are inherently better at computing than people. What is strange about defeating humans in the field of Go that relies on calculation? "

In this regard, I would like to ask: in the past 20 years, since 1997, Deep Blue defeated the human world champion in the chess field, the computer has gone through so many upgrades, and both hardware and software have been greatly improved. Why didn't there ever be a Go program comparable to a professional Go player before the appearance of Alpha Dog? Alpha dog's victory is only the result of the increase in calculation speed?

My impression of Go software originally came from the propaganda in some Go books: Go is an intellectual activity and very complicated. At present, computers are only rudimentary in the field of Go-that's true when I was learning chess. Then, I looked at the level of Go software, from the level that a weak chicken like me can make it win easily to the level that I can only make it win a game by stealing chickens and dogs.

Then, after I don't know how many years, my dad (amateur paragraph 4) downloaded a Go program on a whim one day and was surprised to find that he couldn't pass the PC version of the Go program. However, amateurs are amateurs after all, and we always believe that there is a natural barrier between amateurs and professions, which is not so easy to break through.
