It might be able to beat us at Go, up until the point where we decide to "give" the computer a cup of water :P the interesting thing is that we can build a computer that can completely master a game, but this is only because a game features a specific set of moves and clearly defined rules. Life is still more complex.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

You do realize that there were already robots of this capacity several years ago. Just a few years ago a supercomputer had beaten a world class Soviet chessmaster. While a supercomputer had beaten a guy in jeopardy too, this isn't new.

Go isn't chess, it has a greater number of possible outcomes

Computers don't beat people at the noble game of Go. People beat people at the noble game of Go using computers.
