But Elon does reflect on things. Part of his motivation for starting this company was to give humanity the possibility to interface with powerful AIs, which he fears will „leave us behind“. So yes, it might change the definition of humanity, but not because it‘s some unintended side consequence, but because it‘s a solution for a - in his perception - more existential threat to humanity as a whole.
It would be ironic if we ourselves turned into AI-like super powerful entities and AI in a sense of the word as we understand it now, never happens. If that moment were ever to get here, I would imagine we would not "exist" for long or under any pleasant circumstances given the likely fact that the creator of such technology would embed themselves at the center of it, with unlimited powers to control others.
