Is there some shame in asking the AI to play worse?

It’s a machine, it won’t feel smug about knowing it could beat me if it wanted to.

I’ve never really understood people who are competitive about board games and similar inside-the-box scenarios. (There’s a certain “Dwight Schrute” aspect to that mentality that’s hard to watch.) I like losing in games because there’s no real-world cost to trying out some idiot strategy.
