chess is in the beginning stage of petrification. it's a long process though. you may not be around when it's finally done with.
Chess is definitely dying. Elite GMs are copying engines by overplaying the Ruy Lopez and the Queen's Gambit Declined. It's pretty sad that when commentators replay a game between elites, they're always consulting the engine's evaluation bar. So what's the point of humans playing the game when their end goal is to play like an engine and when human commentators consult engines all the time. Chess is a game. It shouldn't be taken seriously.
chess is the best challenge

It's not taken seriously. The proof of that is in the sponsors and prize money. For chess to be taken seriously it has to be made more fun.

yes, there are gazillion permutations assuming every move is equally likely. In reality, however, most of those moves, probably 99% will never be played and the number of playable moves will narrow down as you move deeper into the game. I bet on average at any given time there are about 3 or 4 good moves and that not difficult to memorize
Play chess variants. Make the board 10x8, add a few pieces and it's fun again! And there's no chess engines!😀

For more than a century now it has been possible for machines to move faster than humans. However, this has no impact on the vitality of human competition. We still have the Olympics. We still celebrate 'the fastest man on earth' (typically the 100m race winner).
Machines can also lift more weight than the strongest humans. But we still have human weight-lifting contests. Nobody says that weight lifting is dead.
I just don't get why some people think that the fact that machines can play better chess than humans should have any impact on the vitality of human competition in chess.

I remember 20-30 years ago people were complaining that chess computers weren't strong enough and didn't offer enough challenge to a skilled player. People were willing to pay a lot of money to get the strongest chess computers on the market.,
Now people can get a chess computer stronger than they could possibly need easily and cheaply, and some people still complain.
