Extinction by AI takeover or robot apocalypse does seem cooler than extinction by pollution rendering then environment uninhabitable.

I'd rather not go extinct at all, but if we're fucked regardless.

Instead we're going to get "D- All of the above."

The universe is so hostile to organic life it's so boring, just rock, gas, burning hell or frozen hell. Might as well let robot inhabit it
