Innovation is the last thing we will need to automate, the finish line for innovation is inventing a machine that can innovate as well as a human can. When humans build such a machine, that is better at innovating than humans who built it, then from that point on, it will be able to independently build much smarter iterations of itself.
But it will be as likely to cut corners and cheat as every human and AI we have seen so far, which is very likely, because that is what humans and AI have always done. It is a fundamental law of thought that thinking things cut corners and cheat.
