Ironically, the main task of chess software companies today is to find ways to make the program weaker, not stronger, and to provide enough options that any user can pick from different levels and the machine will try to make enough mistakes to give him a chance.
Interpretation
Chess software is designed to support players of different skill levels rather than solely to be unbeatable.
Garry Kasparov highlights the irony in modern chess software development, where the focus has shifted from creating the strongest possible artificial intelligence to making programs that can compete at various skill levels. This approach allows humans to enjoy the game and improve their skills by enabling the software to make strategic errors, thereby leveling the playing field.
In practice
In discussions about the evolution of artificial intelligence in gaming.
There is no one that can share your responsibility. It it is your responsibility you must carry it on and you must be responsible for your actions.

The Senior Moment has become the Google moment, and it has a much nicer, hipper, younger, more contemporary sound, doesn't it? By handling the obligations of the search mechanism, you almost prove you can keep up.
[The] dynamics of computational artifacts extend beyond the interface narrowly defined, to relations of people with each other and to the place of computing in their ongoing activities. System design, it follows, must include not only the design of innovative technologies, but their artful integration with the rest of the social and material world.
We want to build systems that can generalize to a new task. Being able to do things with much less data and with much less computation is going to be interesting and important.
