Is it an extinction or just another type of evolution of humans? Evolution isn't the right word but AI will presumably be from us and carry some or the things that matter to us most likely.

Sure you aren't passing on dna like to natural born children but not all children have same ideals or cares of same things.

Evolution usually doesn't mean watching I and everyone I know die (or worse) in real-time. Many people want children but few would be willing to die in childbirth to achieve it.

There's absolutely no guarantee that we can construct superintelligence that will perpetuate our values long-term or even short-term.
