I think it's more likely we will evolve by enhancing our bodies with machine parts and characteristics.

After all we are building machines in our own image. From how AI thinks to building sex robots.

I think the transition will be more nuanced and peaceful.

The surprising truth for a public weened on sci-fi is that human body is far more difficult to reproduce than the human mind. And indeed, with the exception of big, dumb, but very powerful weaponized bodies (tanks, fighters, drones) our bodies are far superior to any robot body.

I predict that humans will always be vitally important for our dexterity at the 1m scale. We can (and do) use tools for smaller scales and larger scales, but we are truly excellent entities at this scale.

How can you say that when we haven't done either?

Intuition informed by the truth that it's far easier to program a chess-playing computer than to make a hand that can gently move the pieces of the chess-board.

Haven't we started using remote-controlled surgery machines?
