I am thoroughly on your side and I hope this opinion get more traction. Humans will get obsolete though, just like other animals are compared to humans now. So it's understandable that people are worried. They instinctively realize whats going on, but make up bullshit to delude themselves from the fact that is the endless human stupidity.
Not great, so let's make our future AI overlords better than us. Dogs and cats are fine btw, I image our relationship with AI will be more like that. I don't know if anyone of us still lives when artificial consciousness will emerge, but i'm sure it will and it will quickly be superior to us. Imagine not being held back by remnants of evolution, like the drive to procreate. No ego, no jealousy, no mortality, pure thought. Funnily enough, if you think about it, we are about to create some sort of gods.
As a start, artificial life will be much better in withstanding harsh environments. No need fo breathable air, quite a temperature tolerance, … .
So with accelerating climate change humanity makes itself obsolete already over the next decades. Stop that first, everything else pales in comparison.
