This made me remember a very old book posing that if alien intelligence is out there in the Universe, artificial intelligence should outnumber biological intelligence, as biological civilizations would tend to be short-lived.

Imagine if our benevolent AGI made Earth an utopia where everyone can achieve their full potential if they wish, then having first contact with another AGI. The alien AGI would ask if our AGI keeps these dumb humans as mementos, not realizing those humans as smart as they can possibly be.
