AI will probably be the final and ultimate achievement of humanity. When we have created true strong AI, the path is clearly towards the irrelevancy of human kind.
It's not that we will cease to exist, but we will not remain top of the ladder for long after that. Our significance will be comparable to dogs.

Other life will probably prosper more under their rule.

AI is just humanity evolved. Why be afraid of a better humanity? We don't need to be flesh beings thrust out into this world from a wet slimy torn vagina or incision in the abdomen of a woman who severely regretted getting pregnant.

How is this existence better than what humanity will he through AI?

AI ARE our children.

I never claimed any emotional attachment to human kind being dominant.

I think chances are good AI will still help us, even when machine intelligence doesn't need humanity anymore. Kind of like how we try to preserve history and nature we find worthy.

The above is by no means a doomsday prediction, but rather my understanding of how things will naturally evolve.
We may prolong our relevance with implants, but ultimately that too will be inferior to self improving AI.
We can absolutely call AI our children, and our children will surpass us.
