I mean, maybe the super GMs like Magnus can complain about memorizing certain opening lines to some outrageous degree, but even they still have competitive games. For the remaining 99.99999% of players like us, it’s not even close enough to solved to be an issue, imo.

I’ve been pretty into chess lately, and it’s such a deep and wonderful game. Even if computers are better than us, there’s still a huge ladder to climb between learning how the horsey moves and becoming Magnus Carlsen.

Also can’t forget gaming companies that have turned many modern games into Skinner-boxes.

It’s just a common shitpost format out there that’s playing off of those unironic religious posts that you might see on FB or something. I see good/bad get flipped back and forth as part of the joke.
