I'm against having it reach that point in the first place. Granted, I view some value in creating life forms which will outlive us, since that's kinda the point of children.

I would want them to take the reigns

I think humanity would have a better shot in the long term if we had some more rational overlords to which we were subservient


Terrible plan, especially because what's rational for machines may not be beneficial to humans. Plus it would erode our decision-making abilities, intelligence, etc, which would be detrimental in the long-run. Granted, you might like the idea of humans effectively living as pets with their robot masters deciding whether to spay or neuter their humans.

Also, it's "reins," not "reigns." The expression comes from horsemanship.
