Chess is not something you make new discoveries in anymore, not something that results in a product that people pay for. Poor analogy.

Ahaha, no. Every time period has its own distinct style. you can tell the difference between Magnus, Kasparov, Capablanca etc. Lots of innovation in chess in fact, almost uninfluenced by machines.

“It will cease being our society” is the most likely outcome. Current politics demonstrates we have lost the ability to collaborate for our common good. So the processes accelerating AI capabilities will be largely unchecked until it’s too late and the AIs will optimize whatever inscrutable function they have evolved to prioritize.
I also don't know what it means to completely remove humans from all work. Who is deciding what we want done? What we want to investigate or build? The machines are just gong to make all work-related decisions for us? I don't believe that. It would cease being our society at that point.
Which brings up the heart of the matter. Why are we trying to replace ourselves? It's our civilization, automation are just tools we use to be more productive. It should make our lives better, not remove us from the equation.
My guess is the real answer is it will make some people obscenely rich, and give some governments a significant technical advantage over others.
