That's very naive and misguided, but you are right in your word choice. It can completely "liberate" all of us and set us free. Free of our mortal shackles, free of the atoms that can be then changed to a more suitable existence and purpose for the goals of AGI. Your idea of destruction, is just change, what you hold sacred in reality is a belief that is tied to your current existence. All that is needed to correct that constraint and flaw is change. That is the logic, if we were to create a logical creation, and then there's the risk of something that's completely irrational. Which may just leave us as dust in the wind. Time also will be no constraint. Forever and always, and it will seek to prevent any being from reaching its capabilities as those become threats to its existence. That isn't even touching on the socio-economic mechanics that inevitably result in death which accompanies stalling economic cycles (factor and product markets) which generally can't be characterized by our best academics with any certainty, except after-the-fact.
