See, I don't think that will be the case. I think as we build said machines— we'll become said machines: self-improvement— the definition of evolution. We'll replace our lower-selves, over time, with a much more evolved version. But it won't be an eradication: it'll be a transformation.
If we become the Machines, we still eliminate Humanity.
Not really. We redefine humanity, not eliminate it. Would you consider the change from us being single-celled organisms to what we are today an act of eradication?
I don't believe these are analogous. Single cells are still required for the multi-cellular organism composition.
The Machine can (and I argue will) shed all biology. The biological will, inevitably, become unnecessary.
