[...] can beat humans at math as decisively as they beat us at chess.

It's only quite recently that any computer could credibly be argued to be playing chess as well as the best humans. So "as decisively as they beat us at chess" doesn't seem all that decisive, even though I think it's generally believed now that the best programs are better than the best humans even on stock hardware.
