The era of human-AI collaboration (cyborgism) will last a long time, until ASI is so superior that a human adds negative value, compute is highly abundant, bottlenecks disappear, and demand for human goods reaches zero.

So I expect cyborgism to last a long time - at least until ASI is so superior that a human adds negative value/gets in the way, compute is highly abundant, bottlenecks disappear, and demand for human stuff is zero - which are pretty stringent conditions.

A prolonged era of human-AI collaboration preserves human economic participation and social meaning, which is broadly beneficial for human welfare.
