So the AGI holocaust would be a good thing for the advancement of life, like the Oxygen Holocaust was.

Anyway, the Oxygen Holocaust took over 300,000,000 years. Not quite "sudden".

As I understand the Wikipedia article, nobody quite knows why it took that long, but one hypothesis is that the oxygen being produced also killed the organisms producing it, causing a balance until evolution caught up. This will presumably not be an issue for AI-produced nanoswarms.

We don't care about the advancement of life, we care about the advancement of people.
