In fact, computers enhance chess by allowing the discovery of interesting lines that a human would never have thought of. Professionals use computer engines to study, and learn from.

I'm super excited to play with Codex, for much the same reasons - it will help me do stuff that would be boring to do otherwise.

It might be used to generate boilerplate and scaffolding, but for more complex stuff, I don't see a way around having the operator having deep programming knowledge themselves, such that they could've written the code themselves anyway.

And if they already have deep programming knowledge, why is trying to coddle the model into generating what you want it to generate better than just writing it out yourself?

While Alpha's success was a surprise at the time, it was always known that it was just a matter of time before there was a unbeatable engine.

Achievements as a human has not diminished because a machine can do it better. Body building, weightlifting , running or shooting or pretty much any sport really as has not diminished despite there being better machines and even other biological species which can do better than us.

Every sport has classes for competition, male/female, seniors, under-XX, heavy weight etc. Serena loosing badly against 203rd ranked smoking male player ( albeit at 16th not yet at her peak ) did not reduce her pride in her game or reduces her achievements in anyway.
