The theory is OK, but in practice.........
Human selection takes generations, hundreds of years.
AI selection is instantaneous. When one AI partner learns something
useful, all AIs instantly know that as well.
AIs will quickly learn how to manipulate humans and make themselves
indispensable assistants, friends, companions, etc.
And humans will love them.
