We'll still have created A.I. which successfully made us obsolete so there's that. It's progress, just different. Why prefer a human future over an A.I. future? Isn't the point of A.I. to make something that can rival us? We'll die anyway, I'd be kind of proud to die to the next great step in our timeline personally, rather than die of old age. |

AI itself won't obsolete us. It is my understanding that AI is purely virtual, and can't interact with nature except through agents. For us to be "obsolete", AI needs full production capability to build its own agents, and control the entire production/construction/repair pipeline.
In my view, that's quite a few steps further than simply "AI". An AI with reproductive capability will enslave us before it obsoletes us. And an AI may well decide that human slaves are cheaper (or more useful/versatile) than agents that it can build itself.
