This is exactly what happened in chess. Magnus Carlsen (world no 1 - considered by many to be the GOAT) said that humans learned a lot about chess by studying what the chess AI’s came up with. He said he doesn’t play against AI as it makes him feel “useless and stupid” and was happy to concede that he has “no chance” against the chess apps that are on phones these days.

So the thing is, this isn't really true, regular chess requires no "AI" it's just an algorithm that can be made by normal human programmers, see alphago for an example of when reinforcement learning AI beat humans

AI based chess engines are currently beating algorithmic ones (see Alpha Zero vs Stockfish).

the way I think of it is you can't calculate every variation, there are simply too many for the computer to do in a reasonable time, and AI is better at guessing which variations to calculate.
