My fear is if machines can learn to think independently... at that point it would be the end for us

I wouldn't bet on that. I think long before we get to that point, we will be tied into them.

Intelligence only differs where it is housed, yet it is all tied together. The internet, which lifted humanity's knowledge level a great deal, did not take over for people. Yes, it is "dumb" compared to what is coming, yet we are still interacting with it.

We will see ourselves as part of the AI, instead of separate from it. How we will interact with that, remains to be seen. BCI seems to be the path everything thinks but who knows. We might find something else in the next decade or two.
