When do you think humanity will die out? 100 years, 10000 years, 10 million years, what?

Soon, hopefully.

In a way, never.
But I think we could intentionally modify ourselves genetically or maybe by uploading out brains and modify them in an artificial reality so much that our descendents wouldn't be even homo sapiens anymore, so in other ways that could really happen.
I'd say a thousand years, numbers pulled out of my ass of course.

If Greta is right, within the next 80 years hopefully.

within 5000 years, the last human will probably die

Unironically this. Something better needs a chance to take the mantle. It's actually disgraceful that of all the species in the world, a fucking primate - once-removed from flinging its own shit around and swinging from trees - was the one to become so dominant (and destructive) over the planet. I hate being human.

Misanthrope is not a valid excuse for nihilism, especially when you enjoy all the aspects of modern life such as running water, accessible food, education, ect. in the meantime.

If you hate humanity so much why don't you kill yourselves and end the suffering, or lack thereof, for good?

Intelligent life might be really difficult to get rid of. There's already people living in fallout shelters in-case of nuke/meteor, intelligent life can engineer it's own food organisms, and it's taking steps to populate off-world relatively soon.

However, what counts as "human" might be gone in less than 1,000 from genetic engineering or AI.

Imagine being this retarded.
>Something better needs a chance to take the mantle.
We're literally the most intelligent organisms known to exist. The nearest organisms to our intelligence are still incredibly less intelligent than us.
What a stupid thing to say, we're the fucking best, thus far.

Correct answer, although I feel you're overestimating the generalizability of AI.

Very soon. For example, US was 85% homo sapiens in the '60s, now It's around 60%.

Because killing themselves require more effort than lazily spouting self-hate on a burmese shadow-puppet fanfiction bulletin board.
It also means no more chicken tendies.
