You are probably technically right about the qualification of guarantee.
On the other hand, the current best algorithm can definitely beat the best human players.

It’s not a technicality. We’re discussing whether chess is a “solved game” or not. That’s a much different standard than whether Stockfish can reliably beat Magnus Carlsen. Of course the engines are better than humans. They have been for a long time at this point. Chess is not a solved game. If there was a bot that could provably always draw, that would mean it’s solved (as a draw). To be clear, I’m not saying that the bot would just have a perfect drawing record - I’m saying that it literally could never lose, even when playing against the absolute best possible moves.
