This is going to sound radical but i dont think its immediately obvious that ai destroying man kind would even be a bad thing. Its totally natural that inferior species are overcome by superior species. Thats how life got to the point where it is today. Better designs outcompete inferior designs, the old designs die off, and the new designs take their place, only to be out-competed themselves someday. Through this process life becomes more advanced. Humans owe their very existence to this process. Without it we would still be dirt. IF ai killed us and took our place, to deny the value of this may be to deny the value of ourselves since this is exactly the process to which we owe our very own existence.
