Intelligence isn't inherently good. I don't want to be replaced by a sociopathic murder bot. One that may not even be sentient. It wouldn't experience emotions like love, or joy, or fun, or anything. What a sad way for the universe to end, as cold emotionless metal. The child analogy breaks down quickly. My biological children would share 99.99...% of my DNA and most of my cultural values. An AI "child" need not share anything in common with it's creator, and they might totally detest each other. And lastly my children don't murder me and replace me. I would be pretty upset at such a child, and would probably disown them and try to defend myself. I would have known I screwed up producing them and be sad.
