I often wonder what post AGI society will look like: - Will we become pets? - Will we become extinct? - Will we absorb into the AGI? Maybe the AGI will just disappear and leave human affairs to humans and with some residual presence to ensure we never create a second. I think much more likely than real AGI, we create an "intelligent" computer virus that locks up all networked computing power.

Perhaps humans, with the aid of super powerful computers, can unlock our genome and in turn make us more competitive. There will be some left behind, but humanity will continue on as an partially artificial GMO much like our own creations

  In the near term, I agree that genetically modified humans make a ton of sense. In fact, this is already happening. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6331330/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6331330/ Post-AGI, I'm not sure if life as we know it makes sense from a practical perspective. My post AGI assumptions: - You can fully emulate a brain digitally - The AGI will do this emulation with less power than our bodies naturally consume - Any physical interaction with the world will be carried out better with 100% robotics or networked bodies genetically modified to the point we can no longer consider them independent or human. I really don't think the AGI will have any inherent practical use of keeping humans around in any form. The real question is what will the AGI want to do? It will literally be a god with no limits we are capable of understanding. What will this god want to do?
