Or see a human being bench press 1000 pounds? Despite the fact that machines can do both of these quite easily, it is still an awesome accomplishment IMO. I don't think it will be any less spectacular when a human makes a brilliant chess move, just because computers could find the move also. If anything, we will be able to see which humans play the best and make the fewest mistakes, making it more interesting.
