But thanks for asking: I was confused somewhat because I was thinking about AI vs. human games, but the AI is trained mostly on human vs. human and AI vs. AI games, neither of which will have the AI vs. human feature. Well, except for bots playing on KGS.

As it turns out, we learned later that Fan Hui started working with Deepmind on AlphaGo after their match, and played a bunch of games against it as it improved. So it did have a number of AI vs. human training games.
