I'd be interested in seeing a link to this. Decades ago, playing defensive "computer chess" used to be a relatively optimal strategy against Chess AIs.

However, I believe Kasparov famously tried to employ this tactic against Deep Blue but by that time it wasn't particularly viable.

I'm not sure if this is the study I was remembering, but here is one link I found: https://far.ai/post/2023-07-superhuman-go-ais/

I can see it in the case of champion-trained AI, but in the case of Alpha Zero trained AI, it should have encountered virtually every kind of senseless play.
