If Artilects do come to fruition and push us aside, then so be it.
They may just ignore us and this planet and search for better things -
after all, if you were a superior mind, would you hang around on one
little ball of rock when you've got an entire Universe to explore - but
if not, then evolution is merely saying it is humanity's time to go.
If you were a being say the size of a galaxy, would you notice or
care about a bunch of tiny little creatures occupying a dot upon a
dot? Do you get all upset or even notice when you wipe your
kitchen counter with disinfectant, removing many bacteria in the
process? They are gigantic in comparison to us on the scale of
the Universe.
Like I said, humans think they are the bees knees when it comes
to existence, but go a few light years outside our Solar System
and our Sun is barely even an interesting star. We are beyond
invisible.
We need to get off the planet more often.
