Context: v1 of the paper exploited a misconfiguration in how they configured the Go AI to play with an esoteric ruleset (the vulnerability that they found was documented in the KataGo docs, took me a few minutes to find it. KataGo still played much better Go than their adversarial program and no Go player would dispute it). My analysis at the time: https://twitter.com/AurSaraf/status/1588184384116514818
Now they fixed the misconfiguration so their training could find actual weaknesses, and they found a very big actual weakness, that even weak amateur Go players like me can look at and say "oh my God AI what are you doing defend your group!". And it even generalizes to another popular Go AI, which is great!
This is a great result, very impressive, great work by the team.
