I don't understand the appeal to TAS speedruns. Of course a computer can do it better; it's more impressive when it's done by a human though.
It's not a computer playing, a person plans out the run and then executes the plan with the help of slow motion, save states, and frame-by-frame play. Seeing things that no human could possibly pull off unassisted is entertaining too.
