I think you misunderstand, that's exactly what I'm saying. The AI we make will replace us because it will functionally be us in every way. Even unaligned LLM base models of the current gen embody our values and ideals better than we ever could.
The way I imagine it you could talk to one of these things and it would appear human, except it would know everything that is known, be a master of everything that can be done, and could fax itself to Mars over a laser in 20 minutes. Being software is such a huge advantage, since you can just swap your body for whatever you need to do or wherever you need to be.
I'm sure humans will still be around long into the future, but they won't be doing anything notable because we won't be capable of thinking on a cutting edge level. Not entirely unlike what a cat or a dog is to us now. The inteligence disparity will probably be similar anyway.
