Neither will last forever (think not next decade but let's say 400 years).

In a summary,
  • Humans' and SI's goals will inevitably diverge at some point
  • We can delay the inevitable but not prevent it
  • We knew it before it even started
The obvious question is then, why start?
Well. Well. Sure. But there a unlimited number to play so it’s impossible to say how and what since the goal and motivation is unknown to us.

As an example. In 15000 years. Would we need a protector god or an enslaved god?
