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?
