Why play chess? There are unbeatable computers out there.

You know what I have found out regarding chess engines? They get "frustrated" if they can't get through you defenses and start sacrificing pieces until they lose...

Interesting, what I've found is that they start sacrificing until they mate me.

Do you have them set at a very low level?

Yeah maybe their moves are not the best but good enough

Maybe good but not unbeatable. And again you have provided only one example which can't prove that machine is better.

If flawed humans, even very intelligent flawed humans, have designed the computers, software, etc. - then computers will never be better than the best human - albiet they can "think/calculate" faster.  If some comments I've read about how far we've come since Bobby Fisher than the computers will always be a step behind the very best humans.  I like to think that "God" would never lose a game (like He would take notice of such human pursuits) because He has perfect understanding of all aspects of the game and would never blunder.

But... "God" made man (humans) in his own image. Hmmm. Doesn't that also mean that "God" is also flawed...

Also we designed and made those machines, so I think we have them beat.

Isn't it a programming competition? why play, no one's ever going to beat it

Why is running still a sport? Aren't cars twenty times faster?

Nobody wants to watch computers play each other, it's not impressive

Ludicrous question. Machines can lift heavier weights can we can, can run faster that we can, and can solve suduko puzzles quicker than we can. It doesn't stop us from enjoying those activities and engaging in competition to see who the best human is.

Mountains live longer than us so there's no point us living really.
