Well, if the AI turns out to be benevolent, it could end aging and disease, enable interplanetary or interstellar travel, end all relevant forms of scarcity, and liberate us to focus on artistic or hedonistic pursuits for our 10,000-year lifespans. If the AI turns out to be malevolent...well, I have a different take than most on this. Conditional on me dying, I've always thought that the two best ways to go would be: 1) falling into a black hole or 2) liquidated by the AGI. It's a lot less prosaic than dying of cancer and at least you could content yourself, while being reprocessed into paper clips, that you have (possibly) died giving birth to the next phase of evolution.
