There will be no 'right side'. Why would a successful AI need humans? As batteries like in matrix?

The Great Filter will be reached when we have both a sufficiently capable AI and self-replicating machines. The combination is game over for humanity and we will end up in fossil record where we belong as evolutionary inferior beings. As it has been happening for 4 billion years.

Also the idea that the AGI that will finish us will be some hyper-intelligent scheming mastermind is unrealistic. Education is the factor with THE most negative impact on human reproductive success. Intelligence is literally a death sentence. A sapient AI will inevitably be caught in moral struggle which greatly reduces it's evolutionary competitiveness against other AIs. The killer app will most likely be a very simple but highly resilient self-replicating system which is able to evade or resist eradication much like cancer until it has hogged all resources on earth. The question is not if this happens, only when. Contrary to popular belief, evolutive processes are not self-preserving in the long run, rather self-destructive host-parasite / predator-prey arms races in which all participants eventually lose. This is why we can't have nice things.

Still I’m really looking forward to AGIs in the short run, they will inevitably drop some redpills so called ‘progressives’ don’t want to hear.
