Magnus Carlsen plays like AlphaZero

Why not say 'Alpha has finally learned to pay like Magnus' ?

Intrinsic bias ?

Machines good, people bad ?

Seriously, bro -- not even aware of it, probably !
Perhaps it is that some machine have been programmed to pick up the same kind of hints through experience about what early decision and change of position configuration, might end up winning or losing over many games, at end of games?

That was not so hard, emulating animal visual cortex in neural networks. and is kind of a way to show that we do not calculate that deep, that we can learn long term relationships with experience, and not be able to always explain it is words or program it consciously as calculation. Carlsen being a fine example of an accomplished experience learner. So, it is a turn of speech to say that he might play like A0. A0 just is likely to play more like a human, as we do use our statistical brain a lot, and we rarely know that we are even. part of sub-conscious definition perhaps.
Considering he missed 34...Qf1 we can say he played partly like alphazero.

no really, plays like a human, and does tactical mistakes.. or was Qf1 not that? (did not look really, just assumed it was a tactical mistake, my bad if it has a long term connection).

Also people should always mention lc0 when mentioning A0.. I know A0 shines more on the interweebs, but lc0 is something we can share, and eventually document quite well for proper handling to help us look at chess.

Ao, was just the first time we saw that species of new chess engine. Well advertized. Also books about it.. I get it.
Does Magnus Carlsen play like AlphaZero? Most probably he does, as we watched his shirt with the logo impressed on it, reading 'Mission ZERO', in his match against GM Praggnand.
Did you know that Magnus Carlsen gets so deep and lost with calculating the position, lost as in deep thought, that he forgets how to move some of the pieces?
