Ja, but consider the alternative.  If we fail to develop a superintelligence of some kind, we know what will happen to us as individuals, ja?  We get comfort in knowing that our progeny live on after we are gone, but we are still gone, and after another easily-foreseeable span of time, they are too. 

AI is simultaneously our biggest threat and our only hope.
