I don't share this view. They would have had a lot in common at a point in time in their history, but who's to say the consequences of millions of years of additional evolution post-energy abundance, let alone the consequences of embryo selection and genetic engineering? We've had a few tens of thousand years of evolution with relative (but still not really) caloric abundance and look how much bigger our brains got. Add nuclear fusion and an extra 50 million years to that nascent process. I think chess strategy is a flawed way to be thinking about this because we designed the rules and the solution space to be comprehensible to us. It's not surprising that we can understand AI strategy. That simply follows from the solution space itself being small and comprehensible.
