How is having somebody play this modified tetris better than having a computer do it, (and do it thousands of times faster too)?

Great question. It's not better, but it's different. And different is useful for drug discovery, where you need to create a rich portfolio of possible designs.
Humans play games in unique ways. We link the Tetris game to DNA design, and the more diversity we can harvest in high-quality Tetris play, the more diversity we can explore in high-quality DNA design. So we will combine AI play and human play at the end.
And tbh partly it's to help get more people on the platform.
