It's interesting to see how super advanced ML-based engines have changed the field of chess in recent years - top engines are way better than top humans, so, in a sense, act as oracles.
Top players routinely use them in preparation, to study new lines, get hints about what moves make sense in a position and also to generate new ideas or tweak the principles they apply in the game. The engines don't explain their reasoning, but provide something closer to the "correct" move in any given position. It's up to the humans to do the legwork and understand _why_ the recommended move is strong.
Clearly, chess is not real life, but the impact of these oracle engines has been broadly positive (with the exception of using engines to cheat in online play).
