"Humans are not going to die out" is very short-sighted. Sure, in the past half-century we've gone from room-sized computers to self-driving cars, and we've seen similar progressions in medicine and other fields. So it might seem reasonable to think that we'd solve all of the big problems well before an extinction event. But everything that we know is a tiny blip on the timeline, and "the data" is practically meaningless. If humans died out soon, our existence would still be so fleeting that the universe would hardly know we were ever here.
