>So for another brilliant or less brilliant mind, becoming a doctor, veterinarian, molecular biologists, etc. Means so much more than reaching the limits of AI.
And yet, all of those fields will benefit from advancements in AI -- whereas someone being great in chess wont have any impact at all for anything else.
What you said is kinda of true, but in a trivial way. Sure, for the guy who's just fallen in love other things aside from his love interest might not mean anything etc.
But that doesn't give any insight as to whether anything is more important than something else.
Might as well have answered "anything goes", which while true regarding available choices someone has if nothing else is considered to matter, it's not true when things are considered in some grander context and towards an end goal.
E.g. if the question "how I can help more people", or "how I can make more money", etc is also in place, chess loses quite fast compared to some scientific pursuit.
