The mostly unchallenged popular notion that fleshy human intelligence will still be running the show 100s – let alone 1000s – of years from now is very naive. We're nearing the end of the human supremacy, though most of us won't live to see that end.

To be fair fleshy human intelligence has hardly been running the show any more than a bear eating a salmon out of a river thus far. We’d like to consider we can control the world yet any data scientist will tell you what we actually control and understand is very little, or at best a sweeping oversimplification of this complex world.

Exactly. We're on an super-linear growth curve. Looking at the earth on a timescale since biological life emerged, it would seem that intelligent squishy life appeared for a split second and then an entirely artificial intelligent life took over from then on.
