Ok, I'll spell out what I meant. One of the possible scenarios where, centuries after GAI was created, there would still be humans (recognizable to us as such) alive, is the same as the reason why horses and pigs and cows are alive today - because they're bred as inputs to some industrial process.

Well, in human history there have been many people bred as inputs to an industrial process. Today most people of conscience look on those situations (past and present) in horror. I would hope that humans someday learn to never allow that to happen to any of us again.

I would hope so too, but here we are, racing full steam towards AGI.

Dude, already happening, it never stopped, it isn't 'horror' it's 'efficiency'. There is no such thing as 'people of conscience'. It will always happen, because, human nature.
