True, but the fun is currently derived from humans going up against humans as a sport. Machines are tools (for learning or cheating) but we are not interested in competition with them.

How will it work for math, where humans do useful work right now? I can not see battle math becoming a big thing, but maybe when some of the tedious stuff goes away math will be philosophy and poking the smarter system is where entertainment can be had?
