I know people like to make Matrix jokes about what the future of AGI would be like, but I suspect it would be more like the relationship between humans and Cheela in Dragon's Egg.

At this rate, I'm convinced our future AI overlords will put humanity down much more humanely than we are/will
viz. Iain M. Banks culture, where the AI keep humans as pets
