Maybe but it also has played against humans in many instances across many years time span.

The execution between them was flawless though, acting as one mind whereas a team of human has to communicate ideas. It's a clear advantage, but it just feels hacky in a way since it's not really comparing the same thing. 5 humans are a diverse group of people. Maybe it's not fair to knock the bots for this behavior though.
> That was covered by the openai open matches. humans could play against the AI for several days and find exploitable flaws. Most didn't, a handful did. That is pretty impressive considering that humans can learn while the AI is frozen during those matches.
I'm talking about playing against OG, who didn't spend days playing against bots. Beating regular players is great, but not the accomplishment they are portraying. The bots had a pretty specific playstyle, and if pros had dedicated time to beating them I think there would be different results.
