Well, that’s not entirely true. Alpha go self played 29 million games of Go, which is in feasible for humans. Assuming a game of Go is 5mins, it would take a human 286 years to achieve the same, assuming this person doesn’t sleep, eat or do anything else other than just play Go. CPU time is an order of magnitude faster than real time, especially on GPU clusters.
