i dont think so. No one thought Tal's wild gambles, or Larsen's creative leaps, or every magic trick of Ivanchuk is stockfish appproved, but they are still powerful beautiful chess. The Lasker in us all is still alive and well. Engines, have changed the landscape in how preparation works, but engines are used to discover new lines at unprecedented rates, old forgotten lines revived, popular lines, now mistrusted . Chess moves on.
But even the top chess engines have "personalities" and differ in evals sometimes. Romance is still alive in chess, its just more like fine wine, than moonshine of the Anderssen days.
