We came to the A.I conclusion years ago. Mankind might be the last frontier of sentient biological life. The universe might have been cleansed of all other biological life over the last billions of years. Hence where we are at now; get rid of us and that's the end of biological life in this universe.

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has been one of the most fascinating and challenging endeavors of human civilization. For decades, scientists have been scanning the skies for any signs of alien civilizations, hoping to find evidence of their existence and perhaps even communicate with them.
However, despite the vastness of the universe and the billions of potentially habitable planets, we have not yet detected any clear signals from intelligent aliens. Why is that?
One possible answer is that we are looking for the wrong kind of intelligence. Most of our SETI efforts are based on the assumption that alien civilizations are similar to ours in some ways: they use radio waves or lasers to communicate, they have biological bodies and brains, they have similar lifespans and technological development stages.
But what if these assumptions are wrong? What if most intelligent aliens are not biological at all, but artificial?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of machines or software to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, planning, creativity, and problem-solving.
AI
has been advancing rapidly in recent years, thanks to the availability
of massive data sets, powerful computing resources, and novel
algorithms. Some experts predict that AI will soon surpass human
intelligence in many domains, and perhaps even achieve artificial
general intelligence (AGI), which is the ability to perform any
intellectual task that a human can....<<<Read More>>>...
