The future of humanity with AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:

The survival of man may depend on the early construction of an ultraintelligent machine — or the ultraintelligent machine may take over and render the human race redundant or develop another form of life. The prospect that a merely intelligent man could ever attempt to predict the impact of an ultraintelligent device is of course unlikely but the temptation to speculate seems irresistible.

Flycer’s Secondary Explanation:

The construction of an ultraintelligent machine could have a major impact on the survival of mankind. It is unlikely that a merely intelligent human could predict the consequences of such a machine. Nevertheless, the temptation to speculate on the potential outcomes is irresistible.
