Why Computer moves makes absolutely no sense?

i dont understand, example:in a game, a computer tells me to sac every piece and say "best move" like wut, it makes no sense but thats the strongest, maybe thats why humans are never flawless in chess?

computers calculates millions of variants in a position and a human generally calculates 3-4 moves so the best move sometimes look no sense but its the best move

Then that must be some flaw of the other site.
Maybe ask there.
As far as I know computer moves here on lichess absolutely make sense.

If I put Stockfish against an average human, who would win?
Stockfish; that's why engine moves make no sense to average humans.

It is my understanding that chess has not been "solved." We are always making improvements, which means that we have not come up with the perfect game. Now, maybe someday a chess computer will be able to find the best moves for both sides, most likely ending in a draw...if one side wins, it is usually because the other side made a blunder.

Now, I am not saying that chess is infinite. The board has 64 squares and starts with 32 pieces (16 per side). When you multiply finite numbers, you don't get infinity. However, humans will never "solve" chess. Computers might someday...I honestly don't know how many possible moves can be made. It is beyond the ability of human beings to calculate. A computer might count them all, if given enough days per move...OR if we can develop a portable super computer...
