Human disempowerment is a different thing vs extinction I'd argue.
Anyway the boring human extinction scenarios we come up with probably just aren't close to what might actually happen but our lack of imagination doesn't make use safe.

Whether this or any other scenario humans come up with are actually feasible is completely irrelevant to the doom argument. People however hyperfocus on these things like why an ASI couldn't possibly build Nanobots or whatever they fixate on and it's just irrelevant to the core argument.
