Many sources claim that AI and/or the combination of humans and machines are "the next step in our evolution". They all seem to forget or ignore the fact that the way evolution works is for the evolved species to displace the species it is replacing. In the usual scheme of things, the displaced species then dies out.
This would be progress?
It would be a good way to rescue the planet from the effects of its current human infestation, but should I still have a vote ... I vote no.
Will we dream?
