No, but even if there is one that can be exploited, it can lose because of it.
And although there are fewer and fewer ways to take advantage of the computer,
there are still enough that we really can't say that a computer will always beat
a human. And as long as a human at least has a chance to beat a computer, then
there will always be some interest. Even if comps start scoring 99% against
super-GM's then there will be people who would want to see humans take it on,
hoping for a giant upset.

Yeah, I think one factor is that it is easier to have a rooting interest; more
people would want the person to win. Plus it's sort of a clash of styles.
