Go/weiqi is actually a computation heavy game even for human players. Top players routinely evaluate many moves and count positions. This can be stressful and error prone during time control periods when they have very little time to make moves. Top players routinely lose games that they are leading under time pressure. This is to the advantage of computers as they are reliable and actually need to search less during endgames. Unlike chess go accumulates pieces on the board as game goes on. It would be more interesting to have humans play computers with more generous time rules.

Then there are things like http://www.sscaitournament.com/ going on. The bots there are still quite bad compared to competent human players. There is still hope :)

Obviously it does for some people, but in the end you are who you are. Whether it is someone else, or even something else, being better is not necessarily as important as you might imagine.

I remember seeing a label on a box of very high quality glassware. It said something like, "The very slight imperfections in this glassware are proof of its hand made nature". We are free to value anything we want -- even something that is objectively inferior.

So, no, I think that fear is a silly byproduct of our own biases with or without the possibility of superior intelligence.

I'm sure when the AI overlords really take over, they'll give you a little box for you to excel in :)

You mean, besides all the religions that claim higher beings, right?
