re: Let's talk about the future of humanity and AI's

If you're a student of human evolution, you'll easily see that AI is the logical next step in the transmission of sentience into the Universe. Humans, in our current form, cannot go into space or to other environments because we are biological creatures that must adapt to new environments.

AI doesn't have that constraint. It will be able to evolve on the fly as it approaches new circumstances. There's also the absence of that annoying human characteristic, death. What a waste is it to educate a brilliant human only to have it die after a very few productive decades.

AI will be able to constantly update a central information repository. "The Borg" collective, which is a fictitious cyborg species, is also a possible scenario for future intelligence resulting from human evolution. However, I personally think, and hope,that we can avoid any necessity of continuing as a biological species. Messy, messy, messy.
