Then find a worthy opponent.  If no human can match the machine, then match
machine against machine.  BTW, I think you are vastly overestimating how strong
computers are.  But time will tell.  Probably they are at GM strength now, when
running on exceptional hardware.  But Deep Blue type performances are not the
norm yet.

Keep moving forward.  If it bores you, go find something that interests you
instead.  How can anyone be bored by excellence?  It's mediocrity that I find
boring.
