Competitive chess is still alive and well despite computers being better than humans for decades now.

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.

Sure, chess is a game. The taxi drivers will drive their taxis for fun, too, and you can write code by hand in your free time (just for fun).
