What happened to the chess community after computers became stronger players?

I used to meet at a coffee shop in a Barnes and Noble for a chess club meeting. Called We're Just Pawns. I had a chess set and a timer.

Chess websites changed that to play against other humans and smart phone apps to play chess against another human or an AI.

I used to play the Chessmaster series game and at one time National Lampoons Chess Manic 5 billion and 1. Even Battlechess. The AI gets harder to beat with each new version. The Fritz engine for example can use a book library of moves and figure out your openings and counter them.
