In the 90s, all games were human-mastery only. Even writing a strong checkers AI or Connect4 AI was considered a major accomplishment. Only Tic-Tac-Toe was really bot-perfect.
With AIs winning in Chess, Go, Poker, and more... I guess the kids these days have forgotten how things were like just a few decades ago.
Contests judged on aesthetic merit may be the last bastion of human advantage. Boxing and figure skating are judged like this. Chess and Go aren't, but most commentators seem to find the machine's moves ugly, so perhaps there'll someday be a category of chess judged for elegance and style.
