> When Google’s AI can beat a human at StarCraft, it’s time to be very afraid.
I don't actually agree with this. Unlike Go, StarCraft is not only a game of strategy; "micro" (micro-managed tactics, basically) also plays a big role. An AI is going to be able to issue a LOT more commands per second than even the most skilled humans, giving them a natural tactical advantage.
Strategy is more difficult for an AI, but not the only deciding factor in StarCraft.
