What's the point of playing chess if computers are always going to be better than us?

There is no objective point to playing chess. You play because you like it. Engine chess is just a sideshow to that.

So that you can prepare for when the robots take over.

Because Chess is FUN

The fact is if your over 20 year of age and still less than 2000 then there is no hope for professional career in chess and there is no other way to make money from it .

Hence it is just a board game for time pass

For weeks I've been wondering: What's the point of trying to improve at chess or trying to make new contributions if everything we do will always be surpassed by a conputer? Why should we even play if we know that we will always be inferior to Stockfish or AlphaZero or Komodo? We can't make any significant contributions to chess because now, humans are inferior. So, please, answer me, what's the point of trying to improve if everything humans do will already be surpassed by a computer?
