If you said "hey I'm bored let's add more squares. Let's move some pieces around or maybe change their movement rules" or "let's play checkers instead" then a human could adapt to this situation pretty easily. A reinforcement learning model like AlphaZero would be like "Whoa whoa whoa not so fast. Let's fire up the GPU cluster." Maybe one day we won't need GPU clusters. But ultimately we're the ones who create all of these tools and decide how to use them.
