In this game, move 147, I made seki. Of course my opponent blundered badly and let me have all of that, but the AI move was making a ko, and my move is -30. I don’t understand how I could have won that Ko. Why was that the better move?
Because the seki would only be a temporarily one.
White would cut at K17 and capture the three stones around J18 and finish the seki.
Your stones would be captured anyway like this. So it is better to have at least a Ko.

Ok, but I can’t see Black winning the Ko anyway. So why play the ko instead of something elsewhere?
so you get 2 consecutive moves-elsewhere,
immediately rather than letting White choose when you get them
