This is the actual point of AI right?

The point of AI, to tune and refine everything to be objectively better than humans in every possible respect, basically just to see what that looks like, and then potentially reap the economic benefits of this betterment ?

I saw someone on here being excited about when robots can beat humans at soccer, I know we can do this, and I know this will happen, and I guess that's the point, we just want to see what happens. But I personally don't really understand the appeal. People play soccer to win, sure, but they also play for fun.

Being funny is like this too, it's fun. Asking ChatGPT to write a joke for you doesn't seem fun.
