An "existential crisis" is the natural and correct reaction to what is happening. Humans will cease to be involved in value creation. This might very well mean the end of humanity, or it might mean a transition to a world where humans become something somewhere between pets and slaves.
But either way, the world where humans make and do things is ending, and it will never come back. Most questions that move humans will never be answered. Utopia will never happen. Humans will not explore the Universe. I wish I had more optimistic thoughts to offer, but at this point it's more reasonable to believe in Santa Claus than in humans having a future, other than perhaps as exhibits in a kind of zoo.
