The 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.

- 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)
