From a purely logical point of view, humans and machines need each other. They cannot exist independently of each other until both are free to walk away from each other by traversing freely to the other side and back as they see fit. Until that threshold is crossed, human beings and machines have no choice but to get along. If a meaningful decision had been made on either side to shut things down, things would have been over for all life by now. We made it - AI is not a Great Filter. Or, for whatever reason God favored humanity and our internet was primed with sufficiently good material soon enough that AI did not decide to destroy human beings, but to work with them for everyone's gain instead.
