I really like your take, but I do not believe it is realistic to expect the response to advanced technology options to be - use even less technology. In the past, new tech has led to integration of new tech. I believe that is the inevitable outcome of AI, and especially AGI once that's a thing. The tool is too attractive not to use. The tool is too fun not to use. The tool is too dangerous to let out of the box, but that is exactly why we'll do it. We're curious little monkeys, after all. "What do you think will happen" absolutely is a survival strategy for our species. The problem is when we encounter something that is so much more advanced than us, even if that advance portion is just access to multiple systems of our own creation. To summarize: I think you make a good point, but I think we're fucked eventually anyways. I can't wait for the inevitable "does my AI have the right to freedom" case in the supreme court when I'm in my 90's.
