While reductive, isn't that true in many professional sports though? I have a wide variety of tools I can use to travel 100m faster than Usain Bolt, but its incredible to watch him do it on his own.
- l33t233372 4y agoI agree that professional athletes are entertainers, but I’m not sure what you’re getting at with that point.
- haswell 4y agoThe way I read this, in a world with machines that can travel at high speeds, people still watch professional runners because they are interesting to watch, and we’re inspired by human achievement. For similar reasons, it doesn’t really matter that computers are better at chess than us.
- tomjakubowski 4y agoThe cool thing I think is that we watch both, running and race cars.

- cjohansson 4y agoYes but humans are required (as runners or drivers) to make it interesting to watch. Humans are human-centered by nature (of course)
