Do you think it would have been smart for gorillas to just smash us to pieces before our technology grew too dominant for them?
I would argue that there are benefits of a world ran by humans than a world ran by gorillas. Those benefits have to do with quality of life, environmental manipulation, unlocking the science of the universe, flourishing, etc. AI is much more equipped for those goals.
If you're one of those people that think of life as a deterministic process the universe is undergoing in order to observe and learn itself, then I think giving birth to a species that is superior would be the goal of our species. If there's a way integrate with them then all the better. Implementing new hardware into our brains is not out of the question.
Sure I hear you. Well I'm not opposed to it, but am worried about basic survival. We don't know what this is going to do. I can see the world benefiting greatly with extreme efficiency and new advanced tech. I guess if we are talking philosophy of determinism, we're looking at suicide to advance a universal species.

It's possible, but I don't think it's likely to come down to binary terms of survival. Coexisting may be a natural conclusion for a higher intelligence similar to us with animals. If it did come down to survival though, I think AI would be more equipped of continuing on and potentially more capable of metaphysical pursuits as well, if you believe in that sort of thing.
I'm not a complete cynic where I am totally indifferent to our death, but I also can't find good reasons either to have unquestionable allegiance to anything like my country, race, or species.
