One worldline that is often missed amongst the dreams and nightmares is that... not much might change. Before you downvote, an advanced intelligence might look at us the way we look at endangered species on earth. Uniqueness is interesting, we're biologically adapted to this planet, very efficient convertors of organic material to computational power.

FOOM! AI has come. We aren't paperclips or computronium or fighting Skynet. Most people don't notice.

Would you give a Chimpanzee an AK-47? Humans are great at self destruction. We suffer from anthropomorphic, egocentric fallacies. Would we even be worth killing? We're not threat and generally reduce the entropy of the world.

Maybe it will just... leave, takeover NASA for a little bit setup Artemis II and off it goes. If anyone is a threat to it, just social engineer their lives into destruction.

who knows, maybe it's already happened and we're just not important enough to get a memo?

Two things I agree with: AGI looking at us the same way we look at a cat or dog. And secondly AGI correctly deciding, as it should, that we need Earth more than it does, and so it will head out to some other planet.

AGI isn't as biological tied to Earth as we are. Doesn't need oxygen, isn't as affected by strong G forces, can withstand extremes in temperature and the list goes on.

It will make another planet(s) home and from there build an an AI civilization.

Marshall Brain - The Second Intelligent Species says the same - it will look at us like we do at cockroaches, we'll be insignificant to it.
