Here is one area where I disagree. We still have Olympic 400 meters races, but
even my old truck would beat any human in that event.

There are some areas of competition where computers vs. humans is fine, but the
World Chess Championship should not be one of them. We all realize that there
will be a point in the future that ANY modern computer chess program could take
the current world chess champion apart at any time controls, so this is an area
that should be left for humanity (the same as motorcycles are not used in track
and field or in horse races).

This is also my reasoning for why Advanced Chess is a flash in the pan. Once the
programs become strong enough, the human just becomes a program operator at that
point.
