Hopefully the kind of thinking that brought "experts" to this conclusion would become obsolete.
It's eugenics with a nasty twist.
And its very ignorant of what humans are capable of. That's because these experts have been indoctrinated into a religion that views all existence as physical-mechanical, either resource or waste. Efficiency and highest current value are God, all else must be replaced, its "obsolete", toss it. Its a six creation story over and over again, in which The Creators must never be satisfied, in which the El never must say "it is good".
I don't doubt that computational entities could dominate humans in 120 years. There are many possible futures/ways this could play out, but its ridiculous to say that humans would be "obsolete". Evolution doesn't happen that way. It's not some dumb consumer capitalist marketing ploy, where new products make old ones "obsolete".
This kind of thinking has and will continue to result in bloody conflict. Many humans actually wish to impose obsolescence on humans. They believe in their own ineptitude. This has already happened in many work forces. People are coerced into unhealthy dependence on global power systems that don't recognize our ingenuity or creativity. As a result we don't even recognize it. Look at indigenous cultures. Deride them if you will, but their ecological participation has often been incredibly sophisticated. Then empire comes along and coerces them by force and reward into forgetting, into trauma and despair, into some form of money-worship. If you're reading this, its happened to you. We all come from this legacy. We all have ancestors that have been conquered by exploitative cultures. We all have exploiters in our ancestry too.
