I don't think it would ever be nice that consciousness and first
person become otiose. You could say that one day the machines will
be able to do our jobs and the humans will become otiose.
And on other forums I do say that. :-)

Let us destroy completely the atmosphere of this planet, this will be
excellent for the artificial reality and artificial body vendor
business.
I would prefer earth to become the home of the non-comp people, and
their carbonic fetishes.
A museum of the ancient life style.
The comp people are those who will leave the planet and explore the
galaxy, infinity and beyond :)
