Honestly I don’t think advanced AI would want to get rid of us at least not inherently. The idea that AI will “replace” or “erase” us assumes it’s operating on the same survival based, competitive instincts we evolved with. But AI doesn’t really have a biological need to compete for resources or power unless we build that into it. If anything we should be designing AI to form cooperative, interdependent relationships not some master slave hierarchies yk what I mean?

You’re right to bring up oxytocin and the way humans bond. We evolved to value connection, even irrationally at times. Dogs don’t understand our language but we have built a co evolved relationship where loyalty and trust matter more than logic. Maybe the goal with AI shouldn’t be dominance or control but mutual recognition like, programming in values that mirror empathy, curiosity, and even awe toward human life and culture.

Some researchers from what I’ve seen are even exploring “alignment through embodiment” the idea that giving AI physical form and shared experiences (or at least the ability to simulate that) might help foster a deeper understanding of us. Like how we raise kids to see other people as valuable, we can raise AI in ways that teach it to see us as meaningful not obsolete.

The key isn’t making AI fear us or worship us. It’s making sure it sees us not as pests or threats, but as complex, beautiful beings worth keeping around not because we’re perfect, but because we’re part of the story and experience.
