Could someone sufficiently motivated invest in training Katago to be able to beat Shin Jinseo with 3 stones of handicap? Unfortunately - probably yes.
This in no way detracts from how absurd and remarkable it is that Shin Jinseo can beat KataGo (it gets a LOT of training and architecture refinements https://katagotraining.org/#eloGraphButtons) with 2 stones of handicap.
On one hand, Shin Jinseo is an outlier player of this generation. On the other hand, the newest generation of new pros will have exclusively learned by using the AI to tell them what the best move is, so there's reason to believe that peak human level has yet to be reached.
