I think you're oversimplifying human motives here. A lot of humans genuinely care about the well-being of pets and wildlife, even when they're not in sight. Look how much effort was put into reviving the California Condor.

Maybe let's hope that a hypothetical AGI finds us "cute".

AGI might have reason to keep us alive, sure, but why create media for us? Given our current trajectory, AGI will be very energy hungry. How will it justify using that energy for the sake of human entertainment?
