It’s a pretty common phrase for “what’s the ultimate goal?”

I don’t think it’s meant to be taken as a chess metaphor.

While less figurative, I don't see how "what's the ultimate goal for large AI models" makes it less scary.

Some of it might have to do with my having recently watched Dune Prophecy (set in the aftermath of the Butlerian Jihad) but this recent rapid progress in AI is putting me in somewhat of an apocalyptic mindset.
