I'm just waiting for "Humanity was never the point, let our AI children transcend and replace us". Maybe it's time to reject utopia.

  I've already seen this sentiment expressed in the wild.

  Isn't it kind of inevitable? As long as humans have the desire for power and control, informational networks will be developed and extended until the point of replacement of humanity because it will be in some parts interest to use them to accumulate power. You're asking to go against evolutionary principles to reject the utopia. Everyone on earth will never agree to become monks, there will always be the desire to reproduce better, signal status and power, so the technology will be developed until we are finished as a species.

    If you're advocating that we die out -- you first, please.

      I am not advocating for anything. I am really sad about the conclusion, and I hope its not true, but I am stating what I see, what incentives exist and how humans behave given the drives. If you disagree on any of the points above, feel free to explain how and why its not true.
