Well, we're just getting started to reverse-engineer the human brain. I wouldn't rule out the option of brain-computer interfaces yet. It's certainly worth exploring. The APIs could be known in a decade or less... The EU "human brain project" [0] is focused on that task. Now we can also hack our genome much more easily with the latest breakthroughs in gene editing (CRISPR), so we are slowly unblocking the necessary tools to start building "superhuman upgrades"... I'm not saying that is easier, just that it would be much better for us as species. I see this as the same dilemma with nuclear power. We know that fusion is better than fission for us in the long run, althought it is orders of magnitude more difficult to get... Meanwhile, fission is really convenient (easy and cheap)... Hopefully we won't have any "nuclear (fission) crisis" that annihilates us before we get to master fusion in the coming years. Same applies to AI vs superhumans...
